. i'm here until berlin. thank you for joining us. we started in washington, we're ukraine's president of a loading. there's a lensky has met with you as president joe biden, in a bit to get more funding for his country's fight against russia. biden promised that the united states would stand by ukraine's side, even as republicans continued to block an aid package for cuba in congress. the parent met after zalinski trying to convince lawmakers to green light the funding. the white house says current aid for ukraine will run out by the end of the year. invite instead of congress fails to extend the funding would be a christmas gift to the russian liter. vladimir food. food is banking on the united states. failing to deliver for ukraine. we must, we must, we must prove him wrong. united states and come as much as i asked last week. and
2:02 am
this, it's telling me that we've gotten to this point. you know, we need to fully appreciate, fully appreciate how is wrong, how this is being viewed around the world. and being used by rush is very important that by the end of this year, we get send, very strong signal of our unity to the dresser. and the unity of you green america . you're the entire free world ever seen. we talked about today. we will have pause in the year and is ready for today's discussions in the white house and in congress across both parties and both chambers with the speaker. very productive of that. thank you for that bipartisan support. earlier i as the w, washington correspondent janelle de la on, if there was any sign that, that the republican blockade in congress could soon be resolved as well. if there
2:03 am
was any sign that the republicans are willing to be concessions, we haven't seen so much evidence of that yet. the fact is that the republicans had their position on this, even before the lensky came, and that the landscape, and even after the landscape arrived and talk to them and, and give a speech. so there's a, there's very little sign that he was able to move them from their positions. but i think it's important to realize that, you know, there is, this isn't a model this among republican. now, there isn't a monolith in thinking law, the republican lawmakers that there are those who generally support aid for ukraine let are still willing to use of ukraine aid as a bargaining chip in order to extract concessions on the us mexico border. and there are those republicans for whom the ukraine aid is loss over priority, but for whom perhaps these republican demands for
2:04 am
a border deal might have provided cover. so this was the dynamics that zelinski was walking into. there was very little that he could see or do to move these republicans from their positions because of the fact that the end of the day is the thing that was holding ukraine a back had nothing to do with ukraine. so is the situation on the us southern border actually so critical or is this pastoring ahead of next year's election as well? no one would say that the situation on the southern border is not serious. so we've been seeing border crossings hit all time high. after all time high. people are talking about a humanitarian crisis unfolding at the border. and you can, you can imagine just how much worse things get at the cold or it gets the deeper we get into winter. now, of course,
2:05 am
you're right to mention the election. this of course, is a very important, a republican voting a priority. now there are even polls that say that, especially in republican voters minds that the border has moved to the 2nd position in order of importance. so right after the economy, but up what is going on. but the fact that remote, the fact remains that there is a lot of daylight between everybody understanding that there is a problem at the southern border and the solutions that the republicans want to see implemented. many democrats see the solutions as a draconian and mac symbolist and this is going to be, this is going to be a key sticking point. and you know, this is a, a long entrenched problem that, of course, so it might spill over into getting ukraine a past as we've been seeing. so our congressional republicans willing to risk ukraine falling over us immigration policy in the southern border as
2:06 am
well as the messaging that we've seen. and none of them will, of course, will, will say it quite like that. but it is quite noticeable that we are seeing more talk of especially from the republican side of the need for a negotiated settlement. one of the, one of the lead and skis problems here in washington is the perception of how the war effort is going. there is this perception here that the counter offensive is, is, has failed or is failing, or at the very least has fallen into a stalemate. and there are divisions between keven washington in terms of how to address that. but so up at the end of the day, you know, what is going to happen is that they're probably going to run out of time in order to negotiate more aid for ukraine. this is probably going to be kicked off, kicked into next year. and for someone like for landscape,
2:07 am
for whom time is the essence, that might not be quick enough. that would be w. washington correspondent, you know, do a lot on reporting for us from washington. many things that you, in general assembly has overwhelmingly back to resolution demanding and immediate humanitarian ceasefire in gauze of $153.00 countries voted in favor with only 10 against, including the us in israel, germany and 22 others epstein. unlike security council resolutions, those passed by the general assembly are not legally binding headed. the vote is rios you, and representative condemned. the resolution. he said to cease fire would only benefit from us, which is regarded as a terrace group by many countries. no more crimes, more heinous than the atrocities from us committed. and those that support this resolution are giving the terrorist a free pass a ceasefire means one thing and one thing only ensuring this the survival of hum us
