Speaking to “State of the Union”, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that not only does he want President Joe Biden to visit his war-torn country, but believes the US leader will do it.
“It’s his decision of course, and about the safety situation, it depends,” he told host Jake Tapper. “I think he is the leader of the United States, and that’s why he should come here to see.”
President Biden had previously revealed that he was ready to visit Ukraine and meet with Zelensky but the White House had other opinions.
“No, no,” Jen Psaki responded to a question about the matter. “We are not sending the president to Ukraine.”
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s visit to Kyiv earlier this month was a strong sign of solidarity with the struggling country and locals.
“This is what democracy looks like,” Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense tweeted about the Johnson and Zelensky’s trip across the capital.
“This is what courage looks like. This is what true friendship between people and between nations looks like.”
