In their first moments together, Biden tells Zelensky that the United States backs "just peace" for Ukraine, telling the Ukrainian leader that his country continues to "impress the world".

Zelensky responds, telling Biden of the "appreciation from my heart" he feels for the US. He thanks Biden specifically for his "big support" for his country.

Zelensky: "The light in our faith will not be put out" at Christmas

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukrainians will celebrate Christmas this year, despite the atrocities of the war, telling Congress: "Even if there is no electricity the light in our faith will not be put out."

Just like the "brave American soldiers which held their lines" and fought against Hitler's Nazi Germany in 1944, Ukrainian soldiers "are doing the same to Putin's forces this Christmas," Zelensky said to applause.

"If they attack us with Iranian drones, and our people will have to go to bomb shelters on Christmas Eve, Ukrainians will still sit down at the holiday table and cheer up each other," he added.

But you can't rebuild the lost lives. And then all the suffering. They should try to stop this war. But they only help that it can go on.

Russia can do that immediately by leaving instead of screaming. Stop helping Ukraine kick our ass, or else!"

Shouldn't you be trolling under some bridge?  The "lost lives" and "suffering" would stop immediately if Russia got the heck out of Ukraine.
