In an effort to strengthen American support for his nation’s conflict with Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with top American officials on Thursday.
Biden during his recent meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declared more billions of dollars to be allocated to Ukraine as financial assistance
The Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, has promised to keep providing military support to Ukraine in case she wins the presidency. Following the Ukrainian president’s meeting with President Joe Biden, when the latter declared more billions of dollars to be allocated for missiles, drones, ammunition, and other supplies, she will meet with Zelenskyy on her own.
During a visit to Germany next month, Biden announced his intention to organize a summit with other world leaders centered on Ukraine’s defense. He also promised to make sure that all authorized funding is distributed before he leaves office.
In the Oval Office, Biden declared, “We stand with Ukraine, now and in the future.” “Russia won’t win. Ukraine will win.
Zelenskyy’s turbulent relationship with the Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump, worsened this week. Rather than meeting with Zelenskyy, Trump criticized him. Trump expressed dissatisfaction with U.S. assistance for Ukraine, saying that “we continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refuses to make a deal’ to stop the conflict.”
Ukraine’s top and most significant supplier of weapons, funding, and other forms of support is the United States, and officials there are keen to keep positive ties with whoever wins the US presidency in the coming election.
According to a July Pew Research Center study, over two thirds of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents said that the United States had an obligation to assist Ukraine, compared to one third of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.
Regarding which presidential candidate will manage the war most skillfully, Americans are equally divided. In August, an AP-NORC survey revealed that almost one-third of Americans trusted Harris more while a similar share said the same about Trump.
Zelenskyy was supposed to give Biden a strategy to move the conflict closer to a conclusion that would require a diplomatic agreement with Russia. In order to protect himself in case American backing decreases after the election, Zelenskyy is attempting to gather leverage before Biden leaves office, including consent to launch long-range Western missiles deeper into Russia.
