US President Joe Biden tells visiting Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky that it would be a “Christmas gift” to Russia’s Vladimir Putin if Congress fails to pass fresh military aid for Kyiv.
Speaking in the Oval Office at the White House, Biden says to Zelensky that “we are going to stand at your side” even as Republicans block a new $60 billion package of assistance for war-torn Ukraine.
The Ukrainian president tells Biden that Ukraine’s troops “prove every day that Ukraine can win.”
