US and Ukrainian Presidents Joe Biden and Vladimir Zelensky will hold a joint conference following their talks on Tuesday.
The negotiations themselves will take place in the Oval Office and will begin at 22:15 Moscow time, TASS reports.
Earlier it was reported that Zelensky will speak to US senators. After the event, he will meet with Biden at the White House.
The key topic of the negotiations will be the continuation of American military assistance to Kyiv.
Let us remind you that for several weeks the US Congress has been unable to vote on the allocation of funds to provide further military assistance to Ukraine. At the same time, the White House has already warned that the US authorities are running out of funds to support Kyiv.
In this regard, the US presidential administration initiated a “secret briefing” in the Congressional Senate. However, several scandals arose at the meeting, and representatives of the Republican Party left it altogether.
On December 5, Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell called on his party colleagues not to support the aid to Ukraine requested by the White House. We are talking about US President Joe Biden’s request for $106 billion. Of this money, more than 60 billion were planned to be spent on the needs of Ukraine. On December 5, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that the United States would be held responsible for Ukraine’s defeat unless Congress approved additional funds to help Ukraine.
