Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to the White House on Thursday is seen as a crucial opportunity for him to garner support for his country's war efforts. Zelensky is expected to present a 'victory plan' to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, outlining Ukraine's urgent need for assistance in countering Russia's invasion.
The specifics of the plan have been kept confidential until the meetings with American leaders. However, it is known to emphasize the immediate need for aid and long-term security guarantees that can withstand potential changes in US leadership.
Zelensky's meeting with Vice President Harris is particularly significant, as it underscores his efforts to strengthen ties with a potential future leader. Harris and her team have emphasized continuity in US foreign policy, assuring Ukraine of continued support against Russian aggression under a Harris presidency.
The ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia remains a focal point of discussion, with Zelensky seeking assurances of unwavering US backing. The outcome of these high-level meetings could have far-reaching implications for Ukraine's ability to combat external threats and secure its sovereignty.
