US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer made a surprise visit to Ukraine to reassure President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that the US will follow through on the next round of aid, even as it faces obstacles in Congress.
The trip comes on the eve of the two-year mark in Russia’s full-scale invasion with Kyiv’s forces running dangerously low on ammunition and other weaponry. US funding is being held up by House Republicans over a debate about US border policy.
