Picking up checks from congress along with some supplemental Christmas shopping likely a high priority. Because, why not.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will be in Washington DC on Wednesday to deliver a speech to a joint session of congress and visit with Joe Biden at the White House.
WASHINGTON DC – President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine intends to make a surprise visit to Washington on Wednesday, the first time the leader has left his war-torn country since Russia invaded 10 months ago.
Zelenskyy’s plans to address a joint session of Congress and at the White House as the Biden administration plans to announce the delivery of a Patriot missile battle system to help Ukraine with its air defenses, according to two people familiar with the plans but not authorized to publicly discuss them because of security concerns.
The trip is not certain to happen, the people cautioned. Zelenskyy was still in Ukraine on Tuesday evening, and there are concerns about his ability to leave his country and then return again.
His visit to Washington would come as Congress is on the verge of passing another $45 billion in assistance to Kyiv in the year-end omnibus bill, which would bring the total to over $100 billion in emergency aid from the United States.
News of Zelenskyy’s planned trip was first reported by Punchbowl News.
The White House pushed Congress to include substantial Ukraine aid in the bill, facing an imminent Republican majority in the House that seems to be less inclined to fund the embattled country. If passed, it would bring the total to over $100 billion in emergency aid from the United States. (read more)
In a sane world, Ukraine would be ostracized by the international community to the same degree as countries like Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria.
Not only has the Zelensky regime waged multiple false flag attacks on Poland in an effort to spark a NATO intervention, but it has also been a source of arms for Islamist groups like Boko Haram, which is a branch of ISIS.
I am no longer sure about Poland.
They are like a little chihuahua trying to start a fight when they have a big dog as backup.
They are towing the line of NATO, all the while really-really wanting to get a piece of Ukraine.
I no longer trust Poland.
After Ukraine and the rocket that fell in Poland deal…One of the NATO countries said that they would send Patriot system to Poland (believe it was Germany).
Poland then makes statement that they would give the Patriot system to Ukraine-which is NOT a NATO country.
Big squabble about that….
America would be much better off if Russia nuked DC while he’s here!
Zelensky is not a Nazi, he’s just a kakistocrat.
I note that he is properly dressed for the occasion ….
Sure the transexual dancing pRresident Zelensky is coming to America. He’s going to tell us the last 47 BILLION was not enough. But how will he get here? Isn’t it dangerous for a war torn country’s pResident to fly?
Today we find he arrived in a U.S. Airforce jet! Kinda like a Limo ride.
Should put the tracker on the jet which Musk received.
Now that he is DC grab him and trade him for the Marine in Moscow.
If that was done as part of the Griner deal I would applaud (ok maybe a polite golf clap)the govt.
Can Zelensky shed some light on Biden/Burisma?
Curious minds want to know.
