Zelenskyy Seeks U.S. Support Amid Mixed Reactions from Biden and Trump

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with both U.S. presidential candidates to secure backing for his 'victory plan' against Russia.

President Joe Biden announced nearly $8 billion in new military aid for Ukraine, emphasizing continued support against Russian aggression.
Zelenskyy's 'victory plan' includes requests for long-range weapon use and increased military and financial backing, but received a lukewarm response from the Biden administration.
Donald Trump met with Zelenskyy, predicting a 'rapid deal' to end the war if elected, though he provided no specifics on how this would be achieved.
Kamala Harris, Biden's running mate, criticized Republican suggestions for Ukraine to cede territory to Russia as dangerous and unacceptable.
Zelenskyy warned of potential Russian strikes on Ukraine's nuclear infrastructure and highlighted the urgent need for enhanced air defense capabilities.
