Zelenskyy to travel to Washington trying to push Congress

U.S. President Joe Biden will receive Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on Tuesday, as negotiations on an aid
deal for the country are stalled in Congress, Politico writes.

Zelenskyy’s visit will “underscore the United States’
unshakeable commitment to supporting the people of Ukraine”.

The meeting is the latest White House effort to apply
pressure on Congress, where the deal to deliver emergency aid to Ukraine seems
to have deadlocked.

Zelenskyy will also speak to senators, which is a crucial
chance for him to try to prevail on senators to provide him with aid before the
end of the year.
