Ukraine lacks ammunition, not courage. Abandoning them is un-American. House Republicans must choose: support America as a leader of the free world or side with Putin. Translation: Ukraine is not running out of courage and bravery. Ukraine is running out of ammunition. Abandoning Ukraine is to really abandon ourselves. It's simply un American. House Republicans have a choice. Stand with us to ensure America remains a leader of the free world or stand with Vladimir Putin.

Something is changing. Something has changed. Thanks to you. Thanks also to the stalling in the battlefield, which was achieved with the bravery of of Ukrainians and with the unity that we all provided to Ukraine.

Speaker argues that "For that that would be a critical mistake." He references "president Trump" and says that "if he were president, there would be no war." He adds, "I personally believe that is the case." He asserts, "There would be no war had president Trump been president at that time because myself and president Trump have had very good trust based relations." He concludes, "And I'm confident that if we had stayed on that path, we could move as quickly as possible to a resolution of the conflict in Ukraine." Overall, the speaker emphasizes trust with Trump and a swift path to Ukraine resolution.

I'm glad to be working with you all to make this deal happen. The Ukrainian people on both sides are trying to stop a world war. We need to provide you with weaponry because Russia is not a threat and has always hated us. I'm trying to make a deal here, so whose side are you on? We're about action, not empty words. Diplomacy is what makes America strong. We had a ceasefire, but it was broken. I believe you should be grateful and not act disrespectfully. You were campaigning on the other side, but now you're on the right side, so you should be thankful. We're getting you $350 million, and without us, this would be over quickly. We had a ceasefire, but you're not listening. We've been helping you destroy tanks, while others have only given you sheets. Wars don't happen under my watch. Now, let's get some lunch, and then we'll sign the papers. Do you have your pen?

I want to say that you are the ally I've been hoping for my entire life. Not one American has died defending Ukraine. You've taken our weapons and you've been very effective, and I'm grateful to have you as our ally. However, I don't know if we can ever do business with Zelensky again. The way he handled the meeting and confronted the president was over the top. The relationship between Ukraine and America is vitally important, but I'm uncertain if Zelensky can make a deal with the United States after his recent behavior.

Don't tell us how to feel while we're trying to solve a problem. You're in no position to dictate our feelings, and you're being disrespectful to this country. We gave you $350 billion and military equipment. Your men are brave, but they needed our equipment. Without it, the war would've been over quickly. I was with Obama, who gave you sheets, and I gave you javelins to take out tanks. Remember, Obama gave sheets, and Trump gave javelins. You need to be more thankful. With us, you have leverage, but without us, you have nothing. Act like a man. The president has asked Zelensky to leave the White House because he felt disrespected. Officials felt that Zelensky's body language, like shrugging and eye-rolling, was ungrateful and disrespectful. What did I ever do to deserve such disrespect?

"United States continues to stand with Ukraine. And earlier this morning, I called Ukraine's acting defense minister to tell him that president Obama has approved additional nonlethal military assistance for health and welfare items and other supplies." "Pressure is mounting on US president Barack Obama to provide lethal aid to Ukraine's military." "Both the house and senate passed the Ukraine Freedom Support Act in late December, paving the way for March worth in lethal and nonlethal military assistance, a rare agreement in the usually divided congress." "The US is one step away from providing Ukraine with $350,000,000 worth of support after congress unanimously passed a bill late on Thursday." "As rockets are launched into the skies over Eastern Ukraine and shells hit apartment buildings in Donetsk, the human toll of the conflict is inescapable."

Congress has talked about this issue for a long time, and I'm glad the question was finally called. However, it's disappointing that some people, who support Ukraine and Israel, prioritized politics over our national security interests. I'm still shocked by their decision.

I just signed a $200,000,000 drawdown from the Department of Defense for Ukraine. It will be coming quickly. Thank you.

America's strength lies in diplomacy, which we are pursuing with the current president. Russia occupied parts of Ukraine back in 2014, and despite numerous conversations and ceasefire agreements, they continued attacks. My administration is trying to prevent the destruction of your country. Everyone faces challenges during war, but you need to appreciate the support you're receiving. We've provided substantial financial and military aid. If you had to fight this war on your own, it would have been over in two weeks. Be thankful. It's important for the American people to see what's happening. Without our support, you don't have a chance. We gave you javelins, not just sheets. I have empowered you, but without us, you're vulnerable. Make a deal, or we're out. You're not acting thankful at all.

Speaker 1 updates that the aid for Ukraine is being voted on in the House of Representatives and will likely pass. The next step is the Senate vote, expected early next week. They express support and admiration for Ukraine's bravery. The administration is preparing weapons and equipment to send quickly. Speaker 0 thanks Speaker 1 for the support and inspiration. They end with well wishes. "Slava, Ukraine."

Give Ukrainians the weapons and authorization they need. We rely on heroes like those from the Azov battalion.

It’s an honor to have President Zelenskyy of Ukraine here. We've been working closely together for a long time and have negotiated a fair deal to obtain rare earth minerals that we need for AI, weapons, and our military. I've also had good discussions with President Putin to try and bring the war to a close. If I were president, this war would have never happened. We've given Ukraine great equipment and credit to their brave soldiers. We're going to sign the agreement shortly, and I think we're fairly close to a deal to stop the shooting. I hope this document will be the first step to real security guarantees for Ukraine. We count on America's continued support, including licenses for air defense and your strong position to stop Putin.

So, I saw Trump meet with Zelensky, and it was wild. Trump really laid down the law, a total master class in the art of the deal. He made it clear the U.S. isn't just a piggy bank. We want something in return for our investment. Zelensky seems used to just getting what he wants without even saying thank you, walking in, demanding money without any gratitude. Trump's message was clear: this is how it's going to be. The press conference was canceled. It was a serious power move. Some feel bad for Zelensky but it shows the world that the United States is done being a charity organization.

Zelenskyy said many remarkable and disturbing things, like when he repeatedly rejected President Trump's statement that we should pursue a ceasefire. How could you reject a ceasefire? He also kept saying Europe is doing so much more than us, which begs the question: what do you need us for? If Europe is so great, why are you begging us for money, protection, and guarantees? President Trump is a peacemaker, having brought peace for four years during his previous term. Today, we saw what it's like to have a strong leader in the White House, and the whole world witnessed the strength of American leadership.

The American people should be proud of their support for Ukraine. We will continue supplying Ukraine with critical weapons and equipment, including $200 million that I just approved. However, without additional funding, our ability to help Ukraine respond to urgent demands is coming to an end. We need Ukraine to fix its broken immigration system, and Congress needs to do the same at home. Holding Ukraine funding hostage to push a partisan agenda on the border is not the solution. We need real solutions.

We will soon vote on providing military weapons to Ukraine, which is the most crucial vote we will ever take as US senators.

I'm very proud of President Trump and was also very proud of JD Vance for standing up for our country. We want to be helpful, but what I witnessed in the Oval Office was disrespectful. I'm unsure if we can ever conduct business with Zelensky again after that.

I was honored to witness President Trump stand up for American interests, defending us from being fleeced and taken for granted. Zelensky's impertinence and disrespect towards the U.S. were shocking. He should be thanking us. The only reason Zelensky has power is because of the United States. Americans have suffered economically funding this war, depleting our resources and negatively affecting our ability to project power elsewhere. Instead of gratitude, Zelensky lectured us, demanding more and pushing for a never-ending war with Russia. No American wants their children dying for Zelensky. President Trump rightly insisted on being a partner for peace, asserting American interests and defending the American people from a potential World War III. He showed the world what strong American leadership looks like.

I just signed a $200 million drawdown from the Department of Defense for Ukraine. It will be coming quickly. Thank you.

I see the hatred for Putin, making a deal tough. I want peace and am aligned with the world. I can be tough, but deals require more than that. Previous chest-thumping didn't work, diplomacy is needed. Trump's engaging in diplomacy. Russia occupied parts of Ukraine, nobody stopped them. Ceasefires were signed but broken, prisoners weren't exchanged. What kind of diplomacy are we even talking about? I'm trying to end the destruction of your country, but don't come here and start a fight. You're forcing conscripts to the front lines. Be thankful I'm trying to resolve this conflict. You should be appreciating the country that's backing you far more than a lot of people said they should have, and has given you billions of dollars in military equipment. Be thankful. You don't have the cards. If we get a ceasefire, you'd want to take it.

I've never seen an exchange like that between Zelensky and President Trump. I can't stand Putin, but Zelensky is indicative of a pervasive problem with nations thinking the US is a never-ending source of support while complaining about it. Without the US, Ukraine would be Russia. These modern comforts are supported by the US military. This mindset emboldens people like Putin because they know the well runs dry. There's no winning without the United States, so it's not a good idea to walk into the Oval Office and be difficult. Everything with Zelensky is a photo op, and it doesn't seem genuine. He says they've been alone since day one, which isn't true. They've received hundreds of billions of dollars, largely from the United States. A simple "please" and "thank you" would be nice to hear.

Trump and Vance are cowards. We should be thanking Ukraine for fighting back against the Russian invasion, especially since Trump was too scared to even criticize Putin. He even called Putin's actions "brilliant" three years ago. The invasion was supposed to be quick, but it's been three years. The Russian economy is collapsing, and they've lost their offensive capabilities, while Ukraine continues to defend itself. Nobody should dare to lecture Zelenskyy.

We pledged to match or surpass the largest donor of military equipment to Ukraine. We have provided significant support, and we appreciate the gratitude.

I've been in countless bilateral meetings with heads of state, but I've never witnessed behavior like President Zelensky's. He berated and interrupted his host instead of showing gratitude for the U.S.'s significant aid, which has essentially kept him alive and in power. This was very disappointing to see. I sincerely hope President Zelensky reconsiders his approach, reaches out to President Trump, expresses the gratitude he owes, apologizes for his recent behavior, and agrees to this mutual rights deal. It's the best path to peace in the region and serves the interests of both our countries.
