Zelenskyy emphasized the critical need for long-range weapons and air defense systems to stabilize the situation and regain the initiative in Ukraine.

He addressed rumors of a territorial deal with Russia, emphasizing the importance of a strategy based on concrete democratic measures to end the war.

Quick Glance: Biden signs Comprehensive Military Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan

President Biden announces the signing of a substantial $95 billion military assistance package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with a significant portion of the funds directed towards Ukraine.

Despite initial resistance from Republicans in Congress, Biden has signed the aid package, highlighting the reinforcement of allies and ensuring prompt deliveries to Ukraine.

The assistance for Ukraine includes weapons and military equipment valued at around $1 billion, encompassing artillery shells and air defense missiles.

Military analysts do not foresee significant changes on the frontlines in eastern Ukraine, while the US support aims to aid Ukraine in operations in southern Ukraine, particularly focusing on Crimea and the Black Sea.

Quick Glance: Contentious Press Conference: Johnson and GOP Lawmakers Heckled at Columbia

A press conference at Columbia University was marked by loud heckling against Republican Speaker Mike Johnson and other GOP lawmakers who condemned antisemitism and pro-Palestine demonstrations on the campus.

The GOP lawmakers faced boos from protesters and struggled to be heard as they criticized the treatment of Jewish students on the campus and directly addressed the student demonstrators.

Johnson and his GOP colleagues called for the resignation of Columbia University President Minouche Shafik, resulting in loud boos from the audience.

After an Orthodox rabbi advised Jewish students to return home, the university announced a shift to hybrid learning for the remainder of the semester until the situation on and around campus significantly improved.

Arizona Republicans block another Democratic effort to repeal 1864 abortion ban: "The last thing we should be doing today is rushing," a GOP leader said.

abcnews.go.com/Politics/arizona-lawmakers-repeal-controversial-1864-abortion-ban/story

Quick Glance: Arizona Republicans foil another effort to repeal 1864 abortion ban

Arizona House Republicans once again thwarted an attempt on Wednesday to repeal the state's nearly complete abortion ban from 1864, leaving Democrats without a vote on their repeal bill for the second consecutive week.

Despite facing pressure from influential conservatives, such as former President Trump and Senate hopeful Kari Lake, urging GOP leaders to lift the ban, the Republicans blocked the repeal.

State House Democrats made a procedural maneuver to attempt to suspend House rules and bring the repeal bill to the floor for discussion. However, this action was rejected by the GOP majority, with only one Republican, Representative Matt Gress, crossing party lines to support bringing up the repeal bill.

A similar endeavor to repeal the ban was obstructed by Republicans last week. Following persistent criticism of the law by Democrats both within and outside the state throughout the week, prominent figures like Trump and Lake recognized the political risks and advocated for a change in direction within the Legislature.

Trump to hold Mar-a-Lago joint appearance with Johnson amid speakership threat: The meeting comes days after Trump helped spike the Johnson-backed FISA bill.

abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-hold-mar-lago-joint-appearance-johnson-amid/story

Quick Glance: Focus on Support for Israel and Ukraine by Mike Johnson

House Speaker Mike Johnson is heavily advocating for support for Israel and Ukraine while trying to push a national security package through the House.

Johnson faces the challenge of juggling the Republican Party's divided support for Kyiv's defense while feeling the pressure to pass a comprehensive aid package for U.S. allies.

In his quest to find ways to promote funding for Ukraine, Johnson is engaging in discussions with the White House and former president Donald Trump. The divisive dynamic within the party and the urgency of the situation in Ukraine present a significant challenge for Johnson.

Johnson must craft a package that includes some policy wins for Republicans while also gaining Democratic approval. Despite concerns from some progressive Democrats regarding support for Israel, most Democratic lawmakers have rallied behind the Senate-passed package.

Quick Glance: Yellen warns of further sanctions in response to Iran's increasing activities

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned of potential global economic damage from rising tensions in the Middle East and pledged that the U.S. and its allies won't hesitate to use their sanctions powers to address Iran's 'malign and destabilizing activity' in the region.

The fast-rising tensions between Iran and Israel and the potential implications of escalation on the global economy are at the forefront of the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.

Yellen announced additional sanctions actions against Iran in the coming days and expressed support for liquidating roughly $300 billion in frozen Russian Central Bank assets for Ukraine's reconstruction.

Another major focus of this year's meetings will be Chinese industrial policy, which Yellen believes poses a threat to U.S. jobs and the global economy. She plans to meet with Chinese counterparts to identify potential areas of cooperation and address concerns.
