Zelensky’s Pitch to Put More Pressure on Biden

March 15, 2022 · 5:00 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“As his nation tries to withstand a Russian onslaught, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to use his Wednesday address to Congress to beseech Washington to do more to help — and may turn up the pressure uncomfortably high on President Joe Biden,” Politico reports.

“Biden has deployed weapons and equipment to Ukraine, rallied European allies to support Kyiv and has spearheaded an array of sanctions on Moscow to punish Russia’s Vladimir Putin for his aggression. But Biden has been unwilling to provide some of the exact things that Zelensky wants — like a no-fly zone, advanced missile systems and fighter jets — creating tension between a cautious U.S. president and a Ukrainian leader desperate for more superpower help.”

Washington Post: Zelensky’s address to Congress part of a tradition of foreign leaders speaking to lawmakers and the U.S.
