WASHINGTON - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Sunday welcomed the passage of $60 billion aid for Ukraine by the U.S. House of Representatives but urged Washington to quickly turn the bill into law and proceed with the actual transfer of weapons, saying long-range arms and air defense systems were top priorities.

"We really need to get this to the final point. We need to get it approved by the Senate....so that we get some tangible assistance for the soldiers on the frontline as soon as possible, not in another six months," Zelenskiy said. Almost 26 months since the 2022 invasion, Russia is slowly advancing in eastern Ukraine and has ramped up its bombardments of cities and towns behind the front lines amid a slowdown in Western military assistance.
