Kiev welcomes and Moscow warns against sending Western forces to support Ukraine. President Joe Biden is hosting talks with congressional leaders at the White House later today in an effort to release billions of dollars in urgent aid to Ukraine.
This comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that his country is in dire need of continued Western support to defeat Russia. American representatives overwhelmingly supported arming the pro-Western former Soviet republic, which abandoned its nuclear weapons in the 1990s after obtaining guarantees from the West.
