Ukraine's bid for more US funding faces opposition

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to Washington this week to secure billions of dollars more of funding is running into opposition in the Congress of the United States.

Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma said the emergency funding wouldn't gain GOP support unless it includes "real, meaningful border reform".

House Speaker Mike Johnson, who met with Zelensky on Tuesday, told reporters afterward: "I have asked the White House since the day that I was handed the gavel as speaker for clarity. We need clear articulation of the strategy to allow Ukraine to win. Thus far, their responses have been insufficient."
