Biden invited Zelenskyy to Washington to reinforce the U.S. "stands with Ukraine for as long as it takes," according to a senior Biden administration official who discussed the trip on the condition of anonymity.

During their meeting, Biden will commit $2 billion in additional U.S. security assistance to send Patriot antimissile batteries to Ukraine amid the bombardment of cities by Russian missiles and drones.

Zelenskyy's joint address to Congress, set for later in the evening, comes as lawmakers prepare to vote on an additional $45 billion in emergency assistance to Ukraine. The U.S. has provided about $68 billion in military, economic and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine since violence between it and Russia renewed.

  1. RESPECT TO BOTH PRESIDENT 🤗💔✌️🤝🙏 Zelenskyy and Biden.. kindest regards God Bless 🌏✡️☯️🕉☮️

  2. I am Ukrainian who is living and working in US. And I ‘m proud of Ukraine and US as democracies that defense peace and future of our planet.

  3. The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn’t depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, silver and digital currencies(BTC, ETH..).

    1. I’m new to trading. How can i make more profitable investment in crypto without incurring much losses?

    2. You actually need an expert trader by a registered broker company to help you out. I currently trade with Mrs, Kiara Stein She is the best when it comes to making high profits in the market !

    3. Actually thought I was the only one trading with Mrs Kiara Stein! She’s currently managing all my funds too and she also provides webinars on how to trade perfectly without loss, but I haven’t started trading on my own yet, still building up my portfolio with her help for now.

    4. Goodness gracious I can’t believe you guys are talking about Mrs Kiara. After watching so many YouTube tutorial videos about trading I was still making losses not until I met Mrs kiara. She is now currently managing my account and I just made my second withdrawal yesterday

    5. @ Elizabeth: Not digital currencies! Get Bit Coin or Madero or Pirate Coin They are crypto not digital. The difference is extremely important. If we get the digital currency by the US government we will become enslaved as the Chinese and Indian people. Gold and Silver are best.

  4. long-range defenses instead of medium-range defenses that are stationed at the ukrainian-russian borders, and patriot systems are stationed at the polish-ukrainian borders. they are used only when the ukrainian army needs to use them until the russian army is expelled. the use of thermal scanning devices to know the presence of any person or object in the area and the presence of snipers with the request to identify itself not to use the patriot system against russian territory.
