US President Joe Biden has extended an invitation to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a crucial White House meeting scheduled for Tuesday.
This move is part of the Biden administration’s intensified efforts to push Congress for additional aid amounting to billions to assist Kyiv in its ongoing conflict with Russia.
The White House emphasized that the meeting aims to underscore the unwavering commitment of the United States in supporting Ukraine against Russia’s aggressive invasion.
As Russia intensifies its military strikes on Ukraine, the agenda will focus on addressing Ukraine’s urgent requirements and emphasizing the indispensable nature of sustained U.S. support during this critical juncture.
Zelensky is also slated to address US senators at the Capitol on Tuesday, highlighting the significance of defense cooperation between the US and Ukraine.
Joint projects concerning weapon production and air defense systems, alongside future collaborative efforts between the nations, will dominate discussions during the visit, according to Zelensky’s office.

The Biden administration and Democrats have stressed the urgency of approving the president’s request for $106 billion in emergency funds, which includes support for Israel and Ukraine, as well as border security proposals. They argue that delaying these funds could play into the hands of US adversaries.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken defended the emergency sale of tank ammunition to Israel and urged swift congressional approval for foreign aid, citing Israel’s current combat operations as a justification for bypassing Congress. He highlighted the importance of Congress having a voice in such matters while affirming Biden’s readiness to make substantial compromises to advance the aid package.
Meanwhile, Zelensky, on a trip to Argentina, engaged with leaders from various developing nations, seeking support for Ukraine’s ongoing conflict against Russia.
His interactions included meetings with leaders from Cabo Verde, Paraguay, Ecuador, and Uruguay, demonstrating efforts to secure enhanced firepower and armaments for Ukraine.
Discussions with French President Emmanuel Macron also revolved around augmenting Ukraine’s defensive capabilities with a forthcoming defense package from France.
The meetings and discussions reflect the strategic alliances being pursued by both Ukraine and the United States in garnering international backing to counter Russian aggression and bolster Ukraine’s defense capabilities.
