U.S. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden welcome Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House in Washington, U.S., December 21, 2022.

👉 Biden and Zelenskyy, who arrived earlier Wednesday, are to hold talks at the White House before the Ukrainian leader addresses a joint session of Congress in the evening.

A senior administration official told reporters the talks between the two leaders would include “an in-depth strategic discussion on the way ahead on the battlefield,” what equipment and training the U.S. and other allies could provide, as well as economic, energy and humanitarian aid.

“President Biden will have the opportunity to reinforce that this support is not just about what we have done before, but what we will do today and what we will continue to do for as long as it takes,” the official said.

While Zelenskyy is not known to have left Ukraine before, he has made visits outside of the capital, Kyiv, including going Tuesday to the eastern city of Bakhmut where his forces have been engaged in heavy fighting.
