Zelenskiy’s message, said Raphael Cohen, a senior political scientist with the RAND Corporation, is likely to be that U.S. aid “is a remarkably good return on investments,” which he said “resonates with Americans.”
Exactly 300 days after Russian troops invaded and amid intensified rocket attacks that have left Ukrainian cities in ruins, Zelenskiy arrives knowing that the Senate and House control America’s purse strings. Zelenskiy, Fried said, “didn’t go to Berlin, Brussels, London or Paris” for his first trip abroad since the start of the war.
When he enters through the House chamber’s double-wooden doors – which had to be barricaded against rioting supporters of then-President Donald Trump nearly two years ago – the cheers will be accented by some lawmakers wearing blue and yellow, the colors of the Ukrainian flag.Many of the House’s 435 members and the Senate’s 100 were expected to attend.
