Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet US leader Joe Biden and address Congress in Washington, during a visit the White House said will send Russia a strong message of Western unity
It will be Zelenskyy's first trip outside Ukraine since Russian forces attacked in February this year in what has turned out to be the most protracted military conflict since World War II.
It will be Zelenskyy's first trip outside Ukraine since Russian forces attacked in February when they planned for a rapid takeover of Kiev and much of the country. Patriot missiles are seen as crucial to help Kiev fend off Russia's punishing missile and drone attacks on its infrastructure. Details of the visit leaked on Tuesday afternoon, with officials stressing to US media that there were still security concerns over Zelensky's travel.
The visit will send Putin "a strong message of unity and resolve from the White House, from Washington, from the free world, on behalf of all the nations supporting Ukraine," the official added.Frontlines visit
