Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday that his country has “a chance at victory” over Russia with the new armaments package for Kyiv’s troops that is nearing approval in the U.S. Congress and supported by President Joe Biden.
The House of Representatives, over the opposition of the right-wing flank of the narrow Republican majority in the chamber, voted Saturday for $60.8 billion in new military assistance for Ukraine, with the Senate expected to pass the measure this week and then Biden signing it.
“I think this support will really strengthen the armed forces, I pray … which we need so much, which thousands of soldiers need so much,” Zelenskyy told NBC’s “Meet the Press” show, speaking through an interpreter.
