U.S. President Joe Biden apologized to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a face-to-face meeting on Friday for delays in the passage of a $95 foreign aid bill this spring that included $61 billion in new Ukraine-related spending.

Sitting with his Ukrainian counterpart in Paris, President Biden praised Ukrainian forces for continuing to fight more than two years after Russian troops invaded.
