Uninspired J.D. Vance Left Meeting With Zelensky Early: Report
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Ohio Republican Senator J.D. Vance was so uninspired by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenky’s visit to Washington, he left early during a meeting with the foreign leader while he pleaded with a congressional delegation for more aid in his country’s battle against Russian invasion. Vance was among a number of Republicans who remained unmoved by the visit. He said that while Zelensky talked to senators about an “update on strategic milestones,” he was not convinced to change his mind. Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) told CNN of the Zelensky meeting: “I don’t know whether he moved the needle at all.” Meanwhile the White House is “hustling” to convince Republican senators to support a deal, a source told Politico. “They’re pretty desperate at this point.”
Today, @POTUS Joe Biden and I discussed how to increase our strength for the next year.
Air defense and capabilities to destroy Russian logistics on our land; strengthening democracy’s arsenal by co-producing arms; more sanctions and isolation for Russia.
It’s very important… pic.twitter.com/KMfeUso6HD— Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) December 13, 2023
