Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday thanked President Biden for “unprecedented” support the U.S. has provided as the country’s fight against Russia enters the rough winter months.

“I had a phone call with U.S. President Joseph Biden and thanked for the unprecedented defense and financial assistance that the U.S. provides to Ukraine,” Zelensky said in a post on his Telegram account.

“This not only helps succeed on the battlefield, but also maintains the stability of the Ukrainian economy.”

The Ukrainian president also thanked the U.S. for aid to restore Ukraine’s battered energy system and “emphasized the importance” of shoring up Ukrainian air defense.

1. Thank the heavens that Biden is president and not Putin-lover Trump.

Had Trump still been president, Putin would indeed have taken Ukraine in a matter of days because Trump would have done nothing to help Ukraine. And he would have continued to weaken NATO for Putin and probably even pulled the US out of the alliance. Biden’s ability to pull NATO back together and work effectively with other world leaders has made a huge difference for Ukraine. May they continue working together to send Putin back to Russia for good.

5. he actually did send some funds that were earmarked . he tried to stop it with

the Hunter Biden attempted bribe. But, they did eventually send the money. That said, he wouldn't have sent what is going there now. That's for sure.

6. Just like with sanctions, he only did it when FORCED by Congress.

And if I'm not mistaken the votes in Congress were overwhelming.

9. I only hope that our contributions will continue when the House changes hands.

I have no doubt that many of the loudest voices coming out of the Republican-led House will be to obstruct Biden's efforts to shore up Ukraine.
