Good morning, US politics blog readers. Today marks the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a grim milestone in a conflict that shows no sign of ending, and in which the United States has played a major role. Aid, particularly of weapons and ammunitions, from Washington and its European allies has proven vital to Kyiv’s defense against Russia’s assault, and President Volodymyr Zelenskiy continues to push for more. He has an ally in Joe Biden, but while they have yet to decisively turn against assisting Ukraine, there are signs Republicans are growing wary of Kyiv’s cause. Expect to hear plenty about this dynamic today.

Here’s what else is happening:

Biden and Zelenskiy will hold a virtual meeting with leaders of G7 countries at 9am eastern time to discuss efforts to aid Ukraine.

Secretary of state Antony Blinken will speak before the UN security council at 10am about the war’s anniversary.

Kamala Harris will hold a meeting on reproductive healthcare access at 11 am.
