According to reports from US media, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to meet with US President Joe Biden during his upcoming visit to the United States. The meeting is expected to take place at the White House and coincides with both leaders attending the United Nations General Assembly in New York. It has also been reported that President Zelensky will visit Capitol Hill to advocate for additional US aid in their battle against Russia's invasion. The United States currently provides significant support to Ukraine's military through weapons and financial assistance. Just last week, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken traveled to Ukraine to announce a new aid package of over $1 billion. Furthermore, President Biden has requested an additional $24 billion from Congress to aid Ukraine. This will be President Zelensky's second visit to the US during his presidency, with the first trip taking place under tight security due to concerns surrounding the ongoing conflict.
