Schiff said the meeting with Zelensky focused on his priorities for further assistance, especially now that the Ukrainians have entered a new phase of the war, with the fighting being more concentrated in the eastern part of the country. Schiff concluded that delegates then passed the information on to Biden, and made recommendations to the president.
