US President Joe Biden invites his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy to White House

Volodymyr Zelenskyy will visit the US at a time when the



Ukraine aid deal remains stalled in Congress. It is Zelensky’s second visit to the US since the war between Russia and Ukraine started in February 2022. Previously, Zelenskyy visited the US in September. During his visit to the US in September, Zelenskyy met Biden at the White House. He also held a meeting with then-US House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy, House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries and US House Representatives. Zelenskyy’s visit comes at a critical moment in congressional negotiations for emergency aid to Ukraine.
