Zelenskyy scheduled to hold talks with President Biden during upcoming U.S. visit

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to engage in crucial discussions with President Biden during his visit to the United States next week, as confirmed by a reliable source with insight into Zelenskyy’s agenda.

President Biden is planning to extend a warm welcome to President Zelenskyy at the White House. Their synchronized presence in New York, where both leaders are attending the annual U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday and Wednesday, sets the stage for their anticipated meeting in Washington, D.C. on Thursday.

During his stay, the Ukrainian President will personally advocate for this funding with lawmakers, as per reports from the Associated Press. Notably, Zelenskyy is also scheduled to visit Capitol Hill for discussions with key legislators. Further engagements in Washington, D.C. may also be on his agenda.

In a notable development, CBS News’ Scott Pelley conducted an exclusive interview with President Zelenskyy during his visit to Kyiv, which will be featured on the 56th season premiere of “60 Minutes” scheduled to air this Sunday. This interview promises insights into the pressing matters that will be on the table when Zelenskyy meets with President Biden.
