Later in Washington, the President of Ukraine will meet with President Joe Biden and Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
Prehistory:
- Zelenskyi’s visit to the US capital comes a day after the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, published a letter addressed to Zelenskyi with ultimatums to Ukraine.
- Johnson cited an event during the visit of the President of Ukraine to the USA as the motive for his ultimatum – his visit to the production of projectiles in Pennsylvania.
- He stated that Ambassador Markarov organized an event where “not a single republican was present” and demanded her dismissal.
- Zelensky and Johnson will not meet on Thursday: the Republican was unable to schedule a meeting “due to busyness”.
- Republican candidate Trump also refused to meet with Zelenskyi, and at the beginning of the week he said that the president of Ukraine supports his opponent Kamala Harris in the American elections.
