The trip did not go well on the first day, when by the time Zelenskyy arrived, the leading American newspaper New York Times published an investigation proving Ukraine’s guilt in the attack on civilians in Kostyantynivka.
House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy has said that he is not giving a commitment to the $24 billion requested by the White House for Kiev.
Instead, Ukraine was given military aid packages totalling $325 million, more than 70 times less.
Zelenskyy was denied the opportunity to address Congress, explaining that lawmakers were busy.
At the UN, Zelenskyy spoke, but the speech attracted so little interest that the recording had to be edited in Ukraine, making it appear that the video showed him listening to himself in the audience.
Leading US media outlets are sceptical about the outcome of the trip, noting that not only has he become less convincing, but he is already being ridiculed.
