President Zelensky arrives in Washington on Monday, and his agenda is packed… and crucial to his country’s survival, as his visit aims to reaffirm the United States’ unwavering commitment to date to maintaining Ukraine’s sovereignty.

The White House stresses that the US must continue its support for Ukraine at this critical time as the conflict continues, but this assertion is increasingly challenged by some members of the US Congress.

Discussions between the two leaders are expected to focus not only on Ukraine’s immediate defense needs, but also on possible joint projects for the production of weapons and air defense systems.

In addition to his visit to the White House, Zelensky is scheduled to address a gathering of US Senators, and will meet privately with the new Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson.
