Zelensky in Washington: US Prepares to Escalate Ukraine War

The opening week of the United Nations General Assembly shows clearly that this is a new era of global politics.

Tomorrow Zelensky and Biden will meet in Washington, where they’ll make a hard sell for tens of billions more in war spending.
