The political clash on Capitol Hill over Ukraine aid will be front and center when President Volodymyr Zelenskyy meets with lawmakers in Washington later this week.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said he has questions for the Ukrainian president when asked if he plans to commit to another round of aid.
"Is Zelenskyy elected to Congress? Is he our president? I don't think I have to commit anything and I think I have questions for him," McCarthy told ABC News Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott.
"Where's the accountability on the money we've already spent? What is the plan for victory? I think that's what the American public wants to know," McCarthy added.
Ukraine funding is a key point of intraparty strife as Congress barrels toward a Sept. 30 deadline to pass a spending measure or enter a government shutdown.
The White House has asked for an additional $24 billion to support Ukraine in its fight against Russia's invaders -- a request backed by congressional Democrats.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has publicly advocated for continued defense and financial assistance. But McCarthy is more skeptical, and a growing number of House Republican hard-liners are adamantly opposed to sending more money to the war-torn nation.
