Zelensky Says U.S. Decisions on Ukraine War ‘Hard to Explain’

Zelensky's remarks, made directly to a U.S. congressional delegation rather than through diplomatic channels, suggest Kyiv is now appealing to legislators as a counterweight to executive-branch decisions on weapons and intelligence. That shift matters because it puts allied cohesion itself on the table, not just battlefield supply. The open question is whether this friction stays rhetorical or hardens into a durable strain on coordination between Kyiv and Washington.
