Volodymyr Zelensky visited President Biden in his first known trip outside Ukraine since Russia invaded.

After their meeting, Biden said the U.S. would continue to support Ukraine “for as long as it takes.” Zelensky, asked what he would consider a fair way to end the war, said that he would not compromise the sovereignty, freedom and territorial integrity of his country. He said Ukraine shared values with the U.S. and was fighting “for our common victory against this tyranny.” The meeting came after the secretary of state, Antony Blinken, announced that the U.S. was sending Ukraine an additional $1.8 billion in military aid, including a Patriot missile battery, one of the most advanced U.S. air defense systems. Zelensky said he intended to ask for another Patriot battery. “We are in war — I am really sorry,” he said. Response: Dmitri Peskov, the Kremlin’s spokesman, said on Wednesday that deliveries of new U.S. weapons, including the Patriot missile battery, would lead “to an aggravation of the conflict” and did “not bode well for Ukraine.” In other news from the war: - [Ukrainian troops will most likely find it more challenging to reclaim territory](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlhneHP0T-aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8xMi8yMS91cy9wb2xpdGljcy91a3JhaW5lLXJ1c3NpYS13YXItc3RhbGVtYXRlLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJlXzIwMjIxMjIyJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTgwODI1Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtZXVyb3BlLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEyMDUyMyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKY6GH8qNjyDAUk1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) from Russian forces who are now focused on defending their remaining land gains, American officials said. - Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, acknowledged that his country’s military [lacked the equipment and technology](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlhneHP4QAAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjIvMTIvMjEvd29ybGQvZXVyb3BlL3ZsYWRpbWlyLXB1dGluLXJ1c3NpYS11a3JhaW5lLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJlXzIwMjIxMjIyJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTgwODI1Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtZXVyb3BlLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEyMDUyMyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKY6GH8qNjyDAUk1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) necessary to win but pledged to increase funding for the war. Benjamin Netanyahu will lead a hard-line, six-party coalition.Maya Alleruzzo/Associated Press Netanyahu on the brink of power in Israel Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, announced yesterday that he had succeeded in [forming a coalition government](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlhneHP4QGAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjIvMTIvMjEvd29ybGQvbWlkZGxlZWFzdC9jb2FsaXRpb24tZGVhbC1uZXRhbnlhaHUtaXNyYWVsLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJlXzIwMjIxMjIyJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTgwODI1Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtZXVyb3BlLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEyMDUyMyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKY6GH8qNjyDAUk1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). It is set to bring him back to power at the helm of the most right-wing administration in Israeli history, 18 months after he left office. Netanyahu will lead a hard-line, six-party coalition whose members seek to upend the judicial system, reduce Palestinian autonomy in the occupied West Bank, further strengthen Israel’s Jewish character and maximize state support for the most religious Jews. It would be Israel’s first ideologically cohesive government since 2019. Analysts say that will not necessarily provide political stability. Despite their relative homogeneity, the coalition’s members frequently disagreed over policy during negotiations and took more than six weeks to formalize their partnership. Its formation also puts the country on course for a constitutional showdown between the government and the judiciary. Quotable: Netanyahu announced the deal minutes before a midnight deadline last night. “I have been able to form a government that will act in the interest of all citizens of Israel,” he told Isaac Herzog, the country’s president. Charges: Netanyahu is on trial for corruption. He denies any intention to use his office to influence the proceedings, but other members of his coalition have pledged to legalize some of the crimes of which he is accused and to reduce the influence of the attorney general, who is overseeing Netanyahu’s prosecution. The reports show consistent losses over the six years, particularly in real estate and other business. Donald Trump’s tax return Donald Trump paid [$1.1 million in federal income taxes in his first three years](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlhneHP0T0aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8xMi8yMS91cy9wb2xpdGljcy90cnVtcC10YXhlcy1pbmNvbWUuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyMjEyMjImaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9ODA4MjUmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1ldXJvcGUtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTIwNTIzJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpjoYfyo2PIMBSTUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) as president and no taxes at all in 2020 as his income began to dwindle, according to a report by the House Ways and Means Committee. And in the two years before he became president, Trump experienced heavy business losses, the records showed. At first glance, the income-tax data seems to show a turnaround in 2018, after a decade in which Trump declared no taxable income.
