Today, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky pleaded before the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, for the "rapid adoption" of huge "vital" military aid for his country in the context of intensified Russian attacks.
US aid of $60 billion has been blocked in Congress since last year.
"I informed Johnson about the situation on the battlefield, especially about the dramatic increase in Russian air terror," Zelensky said after a telephone conversation with a high-ranking American official.
Zelensky said that the US aid to Ukraine approved by the Congress is of vital importance.
Johnson, who determines which bills will be put to a vote in the House of Representatives, said recently that he is examining ways to help Ukraine, while the Senate has already approved $60 billion in aid.
On March 22, the Russian military carried out the largest air attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, which began two years ago.
Zelensky said that last Sunday, Russia fired a total of 190 missiles, sent 140 drones and dropped 700 guided aerial bombs on the territory of Ukraine.
Help in Congress is blocked by Republicans who support former President Donald Trump, who is campaigning for the presidential elections scheduled for November in the USA.
