Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy kicked off a quick visit to Washington on Monday, warning in a speech at a defense university that Russia may be fighting in Ukraine but its 바카라 게임 웹사이트�real target is freedom바카라 게임 웹사이트� in America and around the world. He also issued a personal plea for Congress to break its deadlock and approve continued support for Ukraine.His time in Washington, which will include meetings on Tuesday at the White House and with Congress, is part of a last-minute push by the Biden administration to convince lawmakers to pass a supplemental funding bill, as officials warn that the money for Ukraine is running out.President Joe Biden has asked Congress for $61.4 billion for wartime funding for Ukraine as part of a $110 billion package that also includes money for Israel and other national security priorities. But the request is caught up in a debate over U.S. immigration policy and border security. The U.S. has already provided Ukraine $111 billion for its fight against Russia바카라 게임 웹사이트�s 2022 invasion.바카라 게임 웹사이트�If there바카라 게임 웹사이트�s anyone inspired by unresolved issues on Capitol Hill, it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s just (Russian President Vladimir) Putin and his sick clique," Zelenskyy told an audience of military leaders and students at the National Defense University. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Ukrainians haven바카라 게임 웹사이트�t given up and won바카라 게임 웹사이트�t give up. We know what to do. And you can count on Ukraine. And we hope just as much to be able to count on you.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who introduced the Ukrainian president, said America's commitment to Ukraine is unshakeable and supporting the war is critical to ensuring the security of the U.S. and its allies.바카라 게임 웹사이트�America바카라 게임 웹사이트�s commitments must be honored. America바카라 게임 웹사이트�s security must be defended. And America바카라 게임 웹사이트�s word must be kept,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Austin said.He said Zelenskyy is 바카라 게임 웹사이트�living proof that a single person바카라 게임 웹사이트�s leadership can help rally an embattled democracy and inspire the free world and change the course of history."With Congress in its final week before leaving for the holidays, questions remain as to whether Republicans will be able to come to an agreement on any rounds of future funding for Ukraine or Israel without White House concessions on border security as illegal crossings surge. But any border package also runs the risk of alienating some Democrats.This is Zelenskyy's third visit to Washington since the war began, and he appeared at NDU wearing his trademark Army green long-sleeve shirt 바카라 게임 웹사이트� emblazoned with 바카라 게임 웹사이트�I'M UKRAINIAN." His lobbying task, however, has gotten increasingly difficult, from the hero's welcome he received in the Capitol last year, to the bitterly divided Congress this year.He noted that 82 years ago on this day the U.S. went to combat in Europe, as then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the declaration of war against Germany. Now, he said, as war rages in his country, though the U.S. has no troops on the ground in Ukraine, it is supplying critically needed weapons and equipment.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Every one of you here understands what it means for a soldier to wait for ammunition, waiting for weeks, months without knowing if support will come at all,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he told the university audience. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�When the free world hesitates, that바카라 게임 웹사이트�s when dictatorships celebrate.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Zelenskyy also met Monday with Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund. In a statement, Georgieva said that 바카라 게임 웹사이트�timely and predictable바카라 게임 웹사이트� financing for Ukraine is critical to sustaining the country's economic gains and its plans to implement financial reforms and maintain financial stability.According to the Defense Department, there is about $4.8 billion remaining in presidential drawdown authority, which pulls weapons from existing U.S. stockpiles and sends them quickly to the war front, and about $1.1 billion left in funding to replenish the U.S. military stockpiles.John Kirby, the White House National Security Council spokesman, told reporters Monday that Zelenskyy바카라 게임 웹사이트�s visit comes at a critical time.바카라 게임 웹사이트�This is exactly the right time to be having President Zelenskyy in town to have these discussions, because of what바카라 게임 웹사이트�s going on in Ukraine, the increased activity we바카라 게임 웹사이트�re seeing by the Russian armed forces as winter approaches, but also what바카라 게임 웹사이트�s going on on Capitol Hill,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Kirby.He said Biden will make clear to Zelenskyy when they meet that the White House is standing firm on the supplemental budget request. White House spokesman Andrew Bates said top Office of Management and Budget, National Security Council and White House legislative affairs officials have continued to press the case for the funding.
