Zelenskyy is expected to visit Washington as Congress is debating $24 billion in aid for Ukraine

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected on Capitol Hill and at the White House next week. His visit comes as Congress is debating President Joe Biden’s request to provide providing as much as $24 billion in military and humanitarian aid for Ukraine as it fights the Russian invasion. The trip was confirmed by two congressional aides and an administration official granted anonymity to discuss the plans. Zelenskyy is expected to be in the U.S. to attend the United Nations General Assembly. The Ukrainian president made a wartime visit to Washington in December 2022 and delivered an impassioned address to a joint meeting of Congress.
