Like Winston Churchill 81 years ago, Volodymyr Zelensky travels to the USA. Because the war in Ukraine will also be decided in Washington. The Ukrainian president must convince the Americans that their well-being is also at stake in Eastern Europe.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky addresses a joint news conference with President Joe Biden at the White House in Washington on Wednesday, December 21, 2022.
For the first time since the Russian attack on February 24, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky risked leaving his country for a state visit on Wednesday. To guarantee his safety, an American military plane is said to have flown him across the Atlantic from Poland. In the afternoon (local time), Selenski was initially received by President Joe Biden for a “detailed strategic discussion” in the White House. It was an honor to stand by his side against Putin’s brutal war, said Biden before the consultations. “We will support Ukraine to achieve a just peace.”
