Volodymyr Zelenskyy will focus on securing unity among the US, Europe, and the rest of the world in supporting Ukraine's defence against Russian aggression, as well as strengthening the international order based on rules and respect for the sovereignty of nations.

Key topics for discussion in Washington will include further defense cooperation between Ukraine and the United States, particularly through joint projects on the production of weapons and air defense systems, as well as the coordination of efforts between our countries in the coming year."

Details: At that, the White House website reports that Biden invited Zelenskyy to meet on Tuesday, 12 December, to "underscore the United States’ unshakeable commitment to supporting the people of Ukraine as they defend themselves against Russia’s brutal invasion".
