Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to travel to Washington next week after a gathering of world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, according to two people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
Zelensky’s visit was coordinated with the Biden administration in a joint push to reinforce the importance of Congress granting the White House’s supplemental request for more than $24 billion in additional aid to Ukraine, a person familiar with the matter said.
