For his part, Biden wants to demonstrate the solidity of the relationship in part as a way of keeping Russia, and President Vladimir Putin, in check. His trip to the United States is intended to bolster America’s commitment to supporting Ukraine’s defense — and once again, to send a signal to Russia about the strength of the U.S.-Ukrainian alliance. and Ukraine were allied was simply a point of pressure Trump could put to his own uses. Now, he wants an international demonstration that the support is ongoing — and even It’s also, in part, probably meant to put pressure on Republican legislators who’ve been using aid to Ukraine as a point of attack against the Biden administration. When Biden, then serving as vice president, joined other international leaders in 2015 in calling for the ouster of a prosecutor accused of corruption, the prosecutor alleged that he’d been targeted by Biden because he’d been about to expose corruption at Burisma. The Ukrainian left his home country in secret, making his way by train to Poland, where With no announcement from Zelensky, the Trump administration halted planned military aid for Ukraine — until a whistleblower drew attention to the effort to leverage governmental power to benefit Trump’s reelection. “We in Ukraine are an independent country and independent Ukraine,” Zelensky said — an unsubtle reminder of the existing conflict with Russia. The supposed predicate, you’ll recall, was that Biden’s son Hunter worked as an adviser to a Ukrainian energy company called Burisma. “I also wanted to thank you for your invitation to visit the United States, specifically Washington, D.C.,” Zelensky told Trump. Behind the scenes, Trump and his allies continued to pressure Zelensky for an announced investigation.

The Ukrainian leader speaks to Biden and Congress on an extraordinary day marking his first international trip since the start of Russia's invasion.

[Zelensky made an impassioned and emotional plea to Congress](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/12/21/zelensky-biden-congress-speech/?itid=lb_war-in-ukraine-what-you-need-to-know_1) on Wednesday for continued American support in the fight against Russia. Biden has developed a close relationship with Zelensky that has at times been contentious, particularly as the Ukrainian leader has privately and publicly pressured the United States and European nations to do more. The officer met with Zelensky when he made an unexpected visit Tuesday to Bakhmut, the site of some of the bloodiest fighting in the war, and asked the Ukrainian leader to give the medal to Biden as a token of his gratitude. Putin initially thought Kyiv would fall in a matter of days after he invaded the country, but Russia had to quickly scale back its ambitions and focus on the country’s east after Ukrainian forces held them off. The officer wrote Biden a letter, the White House said, to express Ukraine’s appreciation for U.S. Biden also at times spoke in emotional terms about the need to support Ukraine and the horrors Zelensky and his people have endured at the hands of Putin. The president, wearing a blue and yellow tie — the colors of Ukraine’s flag — shook hands with Zelensky before all three posed for photos. Maintaining domestic and global support for Ukraine as the war drags on far longer than initially anticipated has become a central mission of Biden’s presidency and is a microcosm of his broader foreign and domestic policy framework. “It’s fully appropriate that Zelensky’s first trip outside his country would be to Washington,” said Ian Bremmer, president of the Eurasia Group, a geopolitical consulting firm. Earlier in the day, Biden vowed to support Ukraine “as long as it takes” as the two leaders spoke about Russian President Vladimir Putin sharply — signaling that an end to the fighting is nowhere in sight. He added, “The main thing what I can wish you, and of course, to be together with us generally because we really fight for our common victory against this tyranny.” But Zelensky, who has found his closest ally in Biden, faced a far greater challenge on Capitol Hill, where a growing number of House Republicans — who are poised to take control of the chamber in January — have expressed skepticism or outright opposition to continuing to send more aid to Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed Congress on Wednesday, his first trip abroad since Russia invaded in February.

decision to send the Patriot missile defense system long sought by Ukraine’s government as a major shift between the allies, and a decision that seems to have influenced his visit to Washington. “I mean that sincerely — not just inspire us, but inspire the world with their courage.” The Patriot could aid Ukraine’s defense against Russian missile attacks that Zelensky previously said have targeted about half of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. “Let the world see that the United States are here.” Security was tight around Zelensky’s arrival amid concerns that Russia aims to incapacitate the Ukrainian president, a source told CNN on Wednesday. Earlier on Wednesday, Zelensky sat down with Biden for a discussion in the Oval Office about the country’s future with Ukraine. The world is too interconnected and interdependent to allow someone to stay aside and at the same time feel safe when such a battle continues. “The Ukrainian people continue to inspire the world,” he continued. The visit came ahead of the Ukrainian President’s address to [Congress](https://www.rollingstone.com/t/congress/) as he seeks military and economic support from his top international partner to counter Russian attacks. “The Russian tyranny has lost control over.” In his speech, he thanked his allies for the support and underscored the victories made so far, while also looking to strengthen sanctions against Russia.

We didn’t believe the Ukrainians could do it, in part because we didn’t believe we could do it. The extremists and conspiracists and populists, the authoritarians and kleptocrats and theocrats who have all gained so much ascendancy in recent years, they do not speak for us. His praise strengthened Republican friends of Ukraine such as Senator Mitch McConnell—and the reverberating applause for his praise left the friends of Putin in Congress and in conservative media more aware than ever of their ideological extremism and political isolation. Certainly, it surprised the rest of the world, democratic and nondemocratic alike. The intended victim began to win. Perhaps it surprised the Ukrainians themselves. When he ordered the invasion 10 months ago, Putin apparently expected to roll into Kyiv in days. The slogan “America First”—seemingly discredited forever along with its fascism-friendly promoters of the late 1930s and early ’40s—was revived. Unsurprisingly, “America First” summoned forth reciprocal chauvinism from countries on the receiving end of American tariffs and American disrespect. Political scientists have dubbed the past 20 years an age of “democratic recession.” There are fewer democracies on the planet. He came to Washington to ask for assistance.

Just a third of Republicans supported indefinite support in the survey. The Patriot missiles the Biden administration will send to Ukraine have gotten so much attention as a defensive system that could help protect Kyiv and the country’s electrical grid. “We want to make sure there’s accountability for every money that we spent.” Wednesday’s White House reception could not have been the one Zelensky envisioned years ago when he faced then-President Donald Trump’s call for him to investigate Biden in exchange for military aid. Without specifics, Zelensky endorsed the idea of a peace summit for this winter. “We need you right now,” he said at the time, early in the conflict, when he compared daily Russian strikes on Ukraine to Pearl Harbor and 9/11, attacks that shocked the United States. She handed him an American flag that had been flown over the US Capitol, which he carried out of the chamber. One major reason the US has not provided more direct aid to Ukraine is concern that Putin would be provoked against NATO. The US has provided more than $21 billion in defense assistance in less than a year. It’s in contrast to Vladimir Putin, who David Petraeus before Zelensky’s remarks. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has previously floated the idea of Russia retreating out of areas it invaded since February.

Putin himself got a bit of the last word on Wednesday, saying he would spend whatever it takes, and take whatever time is required, to meet his goals. But they fully expect him to conduct a long, grinding conflict in the south and east, centered on the provinces he has declared are part of Russia. Air defenses have taken down a large percentage of the drones and missiles fired at Ukraine’s cities and infrastructure, but the number of attacks is so overwhelming that plenty get through. It was a subtle way of saying that the war is not just Ukraine’s fight, but part of Washington’s long standoff with a state sponsor of terror that is Zelensky tried to appeal to the minority of Republicans who are reluctant to spend more in a conflict whose end is nowhere in sight. From the start of the conflict, Mr. And he made clear, without quite saying so, that the biggest mistake now would be to give Mr. He was, of course, turning to the real reason for his visit. Zelensky to address all of that and make the case for more without actually reading out a shopping list. Yet he acknowledged the sheer mass of the Russian force now being reassembled as Mr. Russia has been in retreat, America has provided ever-more-powerful weapons, there is plenty of money for more, and the Western alliance is still intact. Zelensky and his top military officials doubt that the Russian forces that invaded in February can be

Le Kremlin a estimé jeudi que la visite du président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky aux Etats-Unis n'a illustré aucune «volonté d'écouter la Russie».

Zelensky contre «la poursuite du bombardement des immeubles résidentiels dans les zones peuplées du Donbass», région de l'est de l'Ukraine en partie contrôlée par des séparatistes prorusses et régulièrement visée par les forces ukrainiennes. Choïgou s'est d'ailleurs rendu pour une inspection sur les positions russes en Ukraine, a indiqué son ministère jeudi sans préciser le lieu ou la date de cette visite. Il s'était déjà rendu dans la zone de l'opération quelques jours auparavant, signe d'une volonté d'un contrôle plus étroit de Moscou sur ses troupes sur place. Zelensky a été reçu en héros à Washington, s'entretenant avec son homologue Joe Biden et prononçant un discours sous les applaudissements des parlementaires américains. Peskov, il n'y a pas eu lors de cette visite «de véritables appels à la paix» ou de «mises en garde» américaines à M. Le Kremlin a dénoncé jeudi une absence de «volonté d'écouter la Russie» après la visite du président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky aux États-Unis, lors de laquelle il a reçu de nouvelles promesses d'aides, preuve pour Moscou que Washington mène une «guerre indirecte» en Ukraine.

On his first foreign trip since the Russian invasion began, the Ukrainian leader pleads for more support.

"Ukraine holds its lines and will never surrender." They threw everything against us, similar to the other tyranny, which in the Battle of the Bulge threw everything it had against the free world. Concluding his speech, Mr Zelensky presented Congress with a battle flag signed by the defenders of Bakhmut, a frontline city in the east of Ukraine that he visited on the eve of his Washington trip. In fact, Republican support for continued assistance has been eroding. They burn down and destroy everything they see. Mr Zelensky - wearing his trademark combat-green sweatshirt and boots - expressed hope that Congress would pass an extra $45bn in aid to Ukraine - currently before the US Senate - to "help us to defend our values and independence".

I wish the US had leaders that cared about our country's interests as much as Zelensky cares about his.

None of this diminishes the courage and canny of President Zelensky, but it does challenge what faith one has in the ruling class of the United States. One has had surgery and is on hormones, and will be dependent on pharmaceuticals for the rest of her life. Said my friend, "If that were me, I would leave the US and move to a place where this madness is labeled what it is: madness." This does not mean that Ukraine should become a puppet state of Moscow, but it does mean that it is folly to think that Russia can stand by while Ukraine allies with its enemy. It's easy to put the Ukrainian flag on your front porch, to say, "Slava Ukraini," and the rest, when you don't feel the cost of continuing this war. (On that front, just this morning, a European friend texted with the information that his close friend from high school moved to California some years ago, and let my friend know this morning that his (the immigrant to California) daughter now wants to be a boy. They most certainly have not, and that is mostly due to the leadership of Zelensky. He also says it is absurd for the United States, whose "Monroe Doctrine" requires it to oppose any Great Powers establishing themselves in the Americas, to also believe that Russia has no legitimate interest in preventing Ukraine from joining NATO. If that is the standard for "absolute victory," then the war will grind on. As I see it, if Ukraine would give up its claims to its eastern territories and to Crimea (where the Russian Black Sea fleet is docked), in exchange for solid security guarantees, short of joining NATO, and if the US would give up its insistence that Ukraine join NATO, then we might conceivably have peace. It sounds like the whole "if we don't fight them there, we will have to fight them here" line that the Bush Administration used to justify the unjust and foolish Iraq war. The Russians, one of the three Great Powers of the world, should have been able to overrun Ukraine quickly.

The visit appears to have gone smoothly, but American security officials will only relax when Mr Zelensky has returned safely to Kyiv. "We are very cognizant that Russia has assets in this country and might try to do something," one senior official told the network. Pictures from Polish TV showed an entourage including Mr Zelensky walking along a platform with a blue-yellow Ukrainian train in the background.

Mercredi, le président ukrainien a rencontré Joe Biden à Washington. Voici l'analyse de Luc Laliberté, spécialiste en politique américaine.

De l’autre côté, il rappelle à M. Il y a des armes qu’il refuse à l’Ukraine pour éviter une escalade du conflit. Dans son allocution d’une trentaine de minutes, Zelensky a fait référence aux batailles de Saratoga, donc l’indépendance des États-Unis, et il a aussi référé à la Deuxième Guerre mondiale.

Both used their craft to bring the audience, at home and abroad, into the heart of their message. And it is heartening that both Churchill and Zelensky view America not simply as a giant storehouse of weaponry and financial support. “It is not given to us to peer into the mysteries of the future. Congress to have it as a gesture of their gratitude. When the speech emerges from an existential threat, words become the window into the leader's soul and hopes for the future. And it gives me good reason to share with you our first, first joint victory: We defeated Russia in the battle for minds of the world. The American people, in their righteous might, will win through to absolute victory. Both leaders also invested themselves in the delivery, alternately charming and direct. By the way, I cannot help reflecting that if my father had been American and my mother British instead of the other way around, I might have got here on my own.” The U.S. Churchill used the time to plot strategy with Franklin Roosevelt in the wake of the U.S.'s entry into World War II after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Ukrainians gained this victory, and it gives us courage which inspires the entire world.

“It’s an investment in the global security and democracy that we handle in the most responsible way.” He appealed to their vanity. Zelensky noted that he showered and that he likes to eat. “Ladies and gentlemen—ladies and gentlemen, Americans, in two days we will celebrate Christmas,” Zelensky said, his phrasing underscoring the synchronicity of the American and Ukrainian holiday. “This battle,” he said, “cannot be ignored, hoping that the ocean or something else will provide a protection.” He appealed to their economic self-interest, too. All of these will be the result of Russian missile and drone attacks on our energy infrastructure.” But, he reassured his listeners, he was not challenging their right to have heat, hot water, and the power to determine how long the war in Ukraine will last.
