a turning point. it's the lensky, his 1st trip abroad since the start of the war. president zalinski was given the red carpet treatment as he arrived at the white house greeted like an old friend by his u. s. counterpart joe biden. they've spoken many times on the phone, but this was their 1st face to face meeting is the start of the war in ukraine with lots to discuss there in the oval office, another show of solidarity, a mutual praise from both lead us when a continuous strategy crazy building defense, so particularly care defense. and that's why we're going to be providing you credit with patriot missile better cranium. people continued as far as the world. i mean necessarily i just inspire husbands farro world with their courage and aaliyah chose resilience and resolve for the future. thank you so much use of course.

thanks. sport. thank squan gris and thanks for mom. just ordinarily bold to your wondering people. america late another the president of the united states and the president of you. great. they space is an important one for both presidents. mister zalinski came to washington with a wish list with military hardware right at the top for joe biden. it was a chance to send a strong signal to russia to the us is in it for the long term, not as stages committed to ensuring that the brave ukrainian people can continue, continue to defend their country against russian aggressions. as long as it takes next step for the ukranian presidents, a speech to a read joint session of the u. s. congress entering the house to a hero's welcome. he delivered a christmas appeal to the hearts and minds of america. we do not judge and

compare whose life is easier, your well being if the product of your national security, the result of your struggle for independence and your many victorious we. ukrainians will also go through our war of independence and freedom, with dignity and success followed him. is lensky no support like this in washington will be vital in the months or years of fighting ahead. but it's not guaranteed. some republicans are concerned about the billions being given to ukraine and when they take control of the house next year, all could change our washington bureau chief in his pole, has been reporting on silent his visit to the united states. she has her analysis. president soleski came to the u. s. first and foremost,

to give thanks to the president congress, but also to the american people who have supported ukraine's efforts and for the billions of dollars of military aid provided since the war broke out in february. but he also took the risk of leaving his country because he wanted to make sure that support continues in the coming year. the hard right of the republican party has already been highly critical of him. and with many members from the republican party wowing to stop the flow of funds when they take control in january. he knows that without support of the u. s. he has no chance to fight russia. the big fear of those who are in support of zalinski is war efforts, is that the topic gets more and more politicized to lensky who has been a brilliant communicator, proved at once again in his hartford approach to congress in a rare joint session. only time will tell if he was successful in convincing his

critics, but the wizards will go down as a crucial moment in the war with russia, as the lensky will bring home the desperately needed air defense system patriot. which will allow him to counter proteins, brutal airstrikes. the new package of u. s. military aid for ukraine includes the state of the art patriot missile battery. kia has repeatedly pushed for the advanced air defense system, which u. s. officials say will enable ukraine to better defend itself against russian attacks. but moscow says supplying ukraine with patriot missiles will have repercussions. the patriot is a highly effective surface to air missile system. it would be the most advanced system provided by the west to help ukraine repel russian attacks. it typically includes launches along with radar and other support vehicles to help you, craney and forces knock out even more of the missiles heading towards the cities.

but russia says, sending patriot missiles to ukraine would be an escalation with consequences, not by yet in 5 years. we strongly advise those who making decisions in washington to finally listen, what was the need to be put to them? so you, it's, and draw the right conclusion from our repeated warnings in you. any way you can apply to ukraine, you must, including the patriot, along with a personnel, servicing them all and will remain legitimate priority targets. the russian armed forces are before the patriot can be deployed, us troops will 1st have to train ukrainian forces that would take several weeks and most likely happen in a 3rd country, potentially germany like any weapon. it does have its limitations. but ukraine has long asked for the patriot to help defend itself and getting it will be further
