WATCH LIVE: Ukraine President appeals to Congress for more help amid Russian bombing
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russia's demands for ending the war were becoming "more realistic."
The Ukrainian president is no stranger to Congress, having played a central role in Donald Trump's first impeachment. As president, Trump was accused of withholding security aid to Ukraine as he pressured Zelenskyy to dig up dirt on political rival Biden. Zelenskyy spoke Wednesday from a giant screen to many of the same Republican lawmakers who declined to impeach or convict Trump, but are among the bipartisan groundswell in Congress now clamoring for military aid to Ukraine.
It was the latest visit as Zelenskky uses the West's great legislative bodies in his appeals for help, invoking Shakespeare's Hamlet last week at the British House of Commons asking whether Ukraine is"to be or not to be" and appealing Tuesday to"Dear Justin" as he addressed the Canadian Parliament and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He often pushes for more help to save his young democracy than world leaders have so far pledged to provide.
