On Wednesday I had the privilege of meeting with President Zelensky and his chief of staff, who are in the United States to garner support for their defensive military actions against Russia. They are concerned about diminishing enthusiasm among some American voters for the expensive aid — both military and financial — that our nation is currently giving the beleaguered Ukrainians.

I met with Mr. Zelensky at a hotel suite near the UN. He was being interviewed by my friend Greta Van Susteren for a Newsmax program. The owner of Newsmax, Christopher Ruddy, invited me to ask the president and his chief of staff some questions off-camera. He was on the way to Washington, to make his case to America’s leaders.
