🥴 How Zelensky's visit to the US went wrong:

▪️The trip did not go well on the first day when, before Zelensky arrived, a leading American newspaper published an investigation proving Ukraine's guilt in the attack on civilians in Konstantinovka.

▪️The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, said he would not support the $24 billion in aid to Kiev requested by the White House. Instead, Ukraine received military aid packages totalling $325 million, more than 70 times less.

▪️Zelensky was denied the opportunity to address Congress because of the 'busy schedule of lawmakers'.

▪️Leading American media are sceptical about the results of the trip, noting that the Ukrainian president has not only become less convincing, but is already being ridiculed.
