 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said would be insane for Ukraine to be willing to give up occupied territory in remarks he made at a White House news conference with US President Joe Biden on December 12.Biden said that he expects to see Ukraine and NATO in the future, but right now we have to make sure that they win the war. Zelensky faced a skeptical reception from key Republicans during a trip to Washington on Tuesday to seek more military support against Russia, but he won a pledge at the White House that the US has his back. Republicans have been reluctant to sign off on a funding request from Democratic President Joe Biden under which Ukraine would receive $61.40 billion.House of Representative Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, said after meeting with Zelensky that Biden's administration must provide more detail about how the money would be used. We want to see Ukraine win the war, and as I've said before, winning means Ukraine is a sovereign independent nation, and it can afford to defend itself today and deter further aggression. That's our objective. I've heard a lot about national security. Do you want me to answer another question? Thank you for your question. I will answer very quickly on this very complicated question. We are not allies, but we are not members of NATO. So that's why I think I will pass this question to our big friend, President Biden. Look, I'm very proud of how strong and unified NATO has become, and now it's even larger. Putin wanted the fendalization of NATO when I met with him in Geneva right after I was elected, and he's gotten the fendalization of NATO instead. NATO will be in Ukraine's future. No question about that, but as we said in Vilnius, Ukraine will become a member of NATO when all allies agree and conditions are met. And now we may have to make sure they win the war.
