Washington Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met US President Joe Biden in Washington. “I’m glad you were able to make the trip,” Biden said in a welcome speech at the White House on Wednesday.
Zelensky had previously stated that the meeting would serve, among other things, to strengthen military cooperation between Ukraine and the United States in Russia’s war of aggression against the former Soviet republic. The talks will also deal with the energy crisis in his country.
And Biden promised Ukraine further defense support: “We will continue to strengthen Ukraine’s ability to defend itself, especially air defense, and therefore we will provide Ukraine with Patriot missile batteries.” According to military experts, the modern anti-aircraft system has the potential to thwart Russian military strategy with airstrikes against cities and infrastructure.
Selenski speaks of great honor and thanks
