Biden and Zelensky planning to meet in Washington for Ukrainian president’s first foreign trip since war began

President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are planning to meet at the White House on Wednesday, according to two sources familiar with the planning, in a Washington visit that is tentatively scheduled to include an address to a joint session of Congress.

Zelensky is already on his way to Washington, two separate sources said, for a visit that marks his first trip outside of Ukraine since the Russian invasion began in February of this year.

The visit to the White House, which hasn’t been finalized and has remained tightly held due to security concerns, will include a meeting with Biden and top administration officials and is planned to coincide with the administration’s intent to send the country a new defense assistance package. Biden will announce an additional $1.8 billion in security assistance to Ukraine during the expected visit, a significant boost in aid headlined by the Patriot missile systems within the package, a US official told CNN.

The new announcement will add to the nearly $20 billion in US security assistance provided to Ukraine since Russia’s invasion began, and will come at the same moment US lawmakers are considering a sweeping government spending measure that includes an additional $45 billion in emergency assistance to the country.

The White House declined to comment on a potential visit or Biden announcement or new security assistance announcements.

Lawmakers are also planning for Zelensky to visit Capitol Hill to speak on Wednesday evening, though sources say the visit hasn’t been finalized as officials work through security preparations. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wouldn’t confirm reports Zelensky would be coming to the Capitol on Wednesday, saying, “I don’t know that that’s going to happen.”

Can’t wait to see those Brandon tax returns dumped on the innernets. Nevermind the Zelensky account with SBF in the BK Court.

Nice you are excited about hearing from these two mega frauds.

Recent UkroNazi Instagram uploads. Your Pentagon handlers don't let this get out much in America, but the rest of the world sees it.

Fascinating that Zelensky addresses Congress on the day SBF is extradited to the U.S. from the Bahamas. Everything related to $$$$$ and Democrats. What could possibly go wrong?

Is that the best you've got, Comrade Travis?

So let's take that big plank out of your eye now, shall we?

The photos I posted were taken and proudly uploaded to Instagram in the last few weeks.

Your “Bund” photos were taken in the 1930s, almost a century ago.

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE ECONOMIST — VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY AND HIS GENERALS EXPLAIN WHY THE WAR HANGS IN THE BALANCE

> 20 December 2022 by Larry Johnson

https://sonar21.com/a-closer-look-at-the-economist-volodymyr-zelensky-and-his-generals-explain-why-the-war-hangs-in-the-balance/

“I finally had a chance to read the entire piece published last week in the Economist — Volodymyr Zelensky and his generals explain why the war hangs in the balance — and it is consequential. Given that the Economist magazine functions much like a ventriloquist dummy, with the British intelligence services’ hand jammed up Ukraine’s backside — pulling the strings and moving the mouths of Ukie officials — this article signals a clear shift in the United Kingdom’s policy towards Ukraine and Russia. The Brits are prepping an exit strategy to get out of Ukraine.

When you read the article you will see that Volodomyr Zelensky is handled as an after thought. He says nothing relevant. The real focus is on the top two Ukrainian military leaders and their comments are at odds with Zelensky’s previous pronouncements.”

Right, Ukrainian nazis are fighting to the death to defend a Jewish Ukrainian President Zelensky. God, you're a moron.

More pro-Kremlin 'Sons of the New American Revolution 2021' (SONAR21) blogger nonsense, Comrade Travis?

Why don't you post the actual Economist article so that we can all see what it says, instead of what that pitiful loser Larry Johnson says about it?

What’s the matter, your Pentagon training didn’t teach you about Google? It’s linked right in the Johnson article, BTW.

Except that was a paid comedy skit years before Zelensky ran for President and won. Being an actor and comedian was his day job, right? Just like Reagan was an actor before he got into politics.

And Zelensky as very good at it.

Have you ever seen his show "Servant of the People"? It's hilarious satire! You should watch it over Christmas, Comrade Travis.

WATCH Servant of the People
