PUBLISHED 6:00 PM EST Dec. 20, 2022Ukrainian President Volodymir Zelenskyy will visit the White House and speak before a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, a senior Biden administration official said TuesdayBiden is also expected to announce an additional $1.
Zelenskyy’s trip is expected to be a one-day, whirlwind journey that will see him traveling to and from Washington within the same day, according to the official. It is not yet clear who might travel with Zelenskyy to the United States. U.S. forces will train Ukrainian forces on how to operate the Patriot system in a third allied country, then take their knowledge back to Ukraine for operation, the administration official said. The U.S. will continue to provide other forms of anti-air support, anti-armor weaponry, and counter-aerial surveillance equipment. But the U.S. will continue to keep its forces out of Ukraine.
“We have been confident all along that, despite some rumors and suggestions to the contrary, support for Ukraine would remain broad, deep and bipartisan,” the official told reporters. “I think the vote that you will see on this substantial aid package demonstrates that, and I think the support you will see for President Zelenskyy at the joint session tomorrow demonstrates that as well.”
