Zelenskyy comes to Washington: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy seems to believe Russia is preparing to bring 30,000 North Korean troops into the war. "This is a threat not only to Ukraine. Russia is helping North Korea learn how to wage war, improve its weapons and gain real combat experience in using them," said Zelenskyy this past week. Now he's come to Washington, D.C., to meet with President Donald Trump—who seems to be surprisingly amenable to meeting with him, despite past tensions—and to honor Ukraine defender Lindsey Graham, who died earlier this month and whose funeral will be held this week.
"The relationship with Iran is still very much fragile," Harry Nedelcu, a senior director at Rasmussen Global, told The New York Times. "Ukraine comes to the forefront."
