President Biden, Nancy Pelosi and the top tier of Democrats displayed extraordinary affection for Zelensky during this lightning tour which included his iconic address to the Congress. Here lies the main cause of headache for President Biden, who is wary of the growing resistance of the Republicans towards his strategy on the Ukraine war.

Zelensky’s trip has proven to be a well-timed stroke by President Biden to pre-empt any possibility of immediate resistance from the new House after January 03. Volodymyr Zelensky, at the same time, also played his role exceptionally well in creating a prodigiously pro-Ukraine atmosphere among the American public through his flashing trip.
