Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to visit Washington after his scheduled address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, as reported by US media outlets on Thursday.
According to The Washington Post, Bloomberg, and CNN, citing government sources, Zelensky is expected to meet with US President Joe Biden at the White House and hold discussions with members of Congress in the Capitol next week.
It remains unclear whether Zelensky will address Congress, as he did in 2022.
According to sources from the political news site Punchbowl News, the Ukrainian president is slated to make his trip to Washington next Thursday.
During the visit, Zelensky is expected to seek continued support for Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia. Currently, Biden is pressing his fellow Democrats for more than $20 billion in additional aid for military, economic, and humanitarian purposes.
According to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, the US has already provided over $70 billion in assistance to Ukraine.
