Ukraine President Zelensky In Washington In Last-Ditch Plea For War Funding

Daily Mail: Zelensky's last-ditch plea to save $44B US aid package: Ukrainian president prepares to meet Biden and speak to Congress as Republicans and more Americans grow more skeptical about giving more money to Kyiv

* Pew Poll found only 31% of Americans say US spending too much on Ukraine

* Same poll found 48% of Republicans said there was too much spending

* Zelensky has meetings on Capitol Hill and White House on Tuesday

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will make a last-minute plea to Congress on Tuesday for a weapons package to continue his fight against Russia as nearly half of Americans say the U.S. has already spent too much on the war-torn nation.

His in-person visit, the third since the war began, will be his most crucial and is a sign of how dire the White House believes the situation: both to get Zelensky his funding and how critical that money is to hold off Russian forces.

But a Financial Times-Michigan Ross poll found that 48% of voters said the U.S. was spending 'too much' on sending financial and military aid to Ukraine. And a Pew Poll found only 31% of Americans say the same but - when broke down further - 48% of Republicans said there was too much spending on Kyiv.
