Washington. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky can visit Washington. He can meet US President Joe Biden and can also go to the US Congress on Wednesday. This will be Zelensky’s first trip outside his country since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February, about which information has become public. US President Joe Biden is expected to meet Zelensky at the White House. This US visit of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky is happening at a time when it needs weapons and missiles to defend against heavy Russian bombing.
However, a spokesman for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky did not immediately respond to a request for details. Zelensky last left Ukraine on 19 February to attend the Munich Security Conference. Due to security concerns in Zelensky’s trip abroad, 10 months after the start of the war, some changes can also be made in the plans. US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a letter on Tuesday that there would be a session of Congress on Wednesday night with a ‘special focus on democracy’.
Significantly, Russia has fiercely targeted Ukraine’s power facilities for the last about a week. After Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky repeatedly appealed to Western countries, especially America, for more weapons, including air defense systems like Patriot missiles, to keep the citizens of his country safe in the bitter cold. While the US government’s money funding bill in the Senate has included an amount of $ 44.9 billion for emergency help to Ukraine and NATO allies. The money will be used for military training, equipment, logistics, and intelligence support, as well as to offset US weapons sent to the Kyiv government. Meanwhile, the World Bank said on Tuesday that it has approved a new funding package totaling $610 million to meet immediate relief and aid needs in Ukraine.
