Not only with Biden: Zelensky in the U.S. will hold a number of important negotiations

During his visit to the USA on December 11, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will have a meeting with US President Joe Biden, senators and Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson.

This is reported by the Washington post.

The publication notes that there is increasing concern in the Biden administration that Congress will not pass more money for Ukraine and that military funding will dry up in a matter of weeks. The sort of dire situation the White House says it finds itself in now is unprecedented over the nearly two-year war.

Washington post recalls that when Zelensky visited Washington in September, then House Speaker Kevin McCarthy rejected his request to address a joint session of Congress.

At the same time, according to the publication, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban will meet with Republican lawmakers in Washington to discuss the end to U.S. military aid for Ukraine. However, it is still unclear which Republican lawmakers have been invited to the event.

We shall remind you that earlier Zelensky canceled his speech before US senators, during which he was supposed to talk about the situation on the front.
