Ukraine president delivers upbeat message on war progress during second White House visit since Russian invasion

The Ukrainian leader received a far quieter reception than the hero’s welcome he was given last year from Congress, but also won generally favorable comments on the next round of US aid he says he needs to stave off defeat.
