House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he has questions for President Zelenskyy when he comes to Washington amid a GOP clash over further aid to the war-torn nation.
The White House has asked for an additional $24 billion to support Ukraine in its fight against Russia's invaders -- a request backed by congressional Democrats.
"Look what Russia has done -- invade -- is wrong," McCarthy said Tuesday. "It's an atrocity, we want to make sure that ends. I also have always said from the beginning, no matter what the issue is, I want accountability for whatever the hardworking taxpayers spend their money on. I want to plan for victory. So no, I will listen to the American public. I will follow what happens in Congress, but I will have questions for President Zelenskyy.
"We have to stand up to this naked aggression today, and deter other would-be aggressors tomorrow. That's why the United States, together with our allies and partners around the world, will continue to stand with the brave people of Ukraine as they defend their sovereignty and territorial integrity and their freedom," Biden said to applause.. The dramatic visit made last December was his first known trip outside Ukraine since the war began.
