Zelenskyy says new Congress members "don't want to give our land to Putin"
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told CNN he expects stronger bipartisan support from the new U.S. Congress, saying newly elected lawmakers and Democrats have assured him they stand with Ukraine and are not afraid to call Russia the aggressor.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he is counting on stronger bipartisan support for Ukraine from the new U.S. Congress after Democrats won control of both chambers in Tuesday's midterm elections. He made the remarks in an interview with CNN, according to Ukraine's state news agency Ukrinform.
"Bipartisan support is extremely important for us, and I think in this case we can keep it. We are grateful to Congress, the Senate and the President," Zelenskyy said. He said he had heard assurances of support from newly elected members of Congress and from Democratic Party representatives.
"They are on our side; they don't try to balance between us and Russia. They are not afraid to call Russia the aggressor. They don't want to give our land to Putin," he said.
Zelenskyy said Ukraine needs more U.S. support as it faces "huge, massive attacks" with Iranian-designed drones and ballistic and cruise missiles targeting civilian infrastructure, energy facilities and schools. Democratic aides in both chambers have said boosting aid to Ukraine will be a priority when the new Congress convenes in January, Reuters reported, though President Donald Trump retains his veto.
