President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi canceled his address to the U.S. Senate at the last moment. A CNN journalist reported this, citing CNN Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
"Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says Ukrainian President Zelensky is not going to attend classified briefing virtually anymore because of a last-minute matter. Zelensky also didn’t end up appearing virtually at the House briefing on Ukraine, lawmakers said."
Schumer added that he was sure it was necessary to support Ukraine and that it was impossible to postpone the vote on Ukraine aid any further.
"I believe we will learn the details later. However, it looks like Biden’s $106 billion package won’t be passed tomorrow without adding the provisions on the U.S.-Mexico border. So we hope further compromises will be reached, and it’ll be OK for us," Ukrainian Member of Parliament Yaroslav Zhelezniak commented.
