7:12 am
cathedral. not uncommon when world leaders have visited gift since the war began. you as president described the night of the invasion when he called the ukrainian leader zalinski. he admitted he had feared russia could quickly take control of all of ukraine that dark night. one year ago. the world was lonely at the time bracing for the fall cave. seems like our longer ago than a year. but think back that year. perhaps even the end of ukraine, you know, one year later keith, stan and ukraine says democracy stays, the american stand with you and the world stands with you. widen announced an additional half a $1000000000.00 in usaid. but there was no mention of new advanced weaponry, such as long range missiles. the zalinski says his forces need ukrainian president
