Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will travel to Washington on Wednesday, Reuters reports, citing Punchbowl News.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will travel to Washington today Wednesday, several US media reports.
Zelensky will hold talks with US President Joe Biden at the White House, CNN reported a while ago. Earlier, the Punchbowl News website reported that Zelensky will hold meetings on Capitol Hill with congressional leadership and the heads of the National Security Committees from both the Democratic and Republican parties.
This will be the Ukrainian president’s first trip abroad since the Russian invasion began on February 24.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, yesterday Tuesday invited the deputies to attend the meeting on Wednesday, which will be “especially dedicated to democracy”.
Zelensky’s visit, if confirmed, coincides with the expected approval of a new military aid package to Ukraine. US President Joe Biden is reportedly ready to give the green light for the delivery of Patriot missile systems to Ukraine, which will significantly strengthen the country’s air defense against Russian invaders.
