U.S. President Joe Biden has invited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to visit White House on Tuesday, December 12, to discuss Ukraine's urgent needs in its defense against Russian operations.
In a statment, U.S. Presidential Spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said that the two presidents will discuss the vital importance of continued U.S. support at this critical juncture.
She added that the meeting between Biden and Zelensky comes at a critical juncture, as Russia intensifies its missile and drone strikes against Ukraine.
Biden's invitation to his Ukrainian counterpart comes after the U.S. Senate blocked a White House request to approve an emergency aid package worth $106 billion, which would primarily benefit Ukraine and Israel.
