First modification:
Although the Ukrainian president’s spokesman did not immediately confirm the trip, local US agencies and media confirmed the president’s official visit to the White House. This is the first trip Zelensky has made outside the country since the Russian invasion began on February 24.
On condition of anonymity, two sources in the US Congress, and a person familiar with the diplomatic matter, confirmed President Zelenski’s plans to visit Washington to the AP news agency.
For its part, ‘CNN’ reported that the White House was making preparations for a meeting with President Joe Biden.
If the trip goes ahead, Zelensky’s visit would include an address to Congress on Capitol Hill and a meeting with President Joe Biden.
Earlier this Tuesday, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, anticipated that a “session with a special focus on democracy” would be held on Wednesday night. Pelosi urged lawmakers to attend that meeting.
