In 2019, Trump was impeached by the US House over accusations that he pressured Ukraine&#8217;s leader to dig up damaging information on a political rival.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">The row clouded a week in which Zelensky has twice addressed the United Nations, ramping up efforts to persuade the US and other allies to boost support more than two and a half years into Russia&#8217;s full-scale invasion.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">At the White House meetings, Zelensky is expected to push again for US backing to fire Western-made long-range missiles deep into Russian territory, which Biden has so far blocked. <!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Before the meeting, Biden said: &#8220;Let me be clear, Russia will not prevail in war&#8230; Ukraine will prevail&#8221;.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">He also pledged to support Kyiv &#8220;in its path to membership to both the EU and Nato&#8221;.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Meanwhile, Zelensky thanked the US for its &#8220;unwavering bipartisan support&#8221;.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">He later met Harris, with the vice-president reiterating her support for Ukraine and arguing the US must continue its role of global leadership. <!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">With Russian troops advancing in the east of Ukraine, the outcome of Zelensky&#8217;s meeting with Biden and Harris is seen by many experts as a key moment in his attempt to shore up US support before the November election.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">On Wednesday, Russia&#8217;s Vladimir Putin announced a plan to revise Moscow&#8217;s nuclear doctrine, to enable Russia to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states if they are supported by nuclear states. <!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Putin&#8217;s spokesperson later clarified that it was meant as a &#8220;specific signal&#8221; to the West. <!-- --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-component=\"text-block\">\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Hours before his meeting with Zelensky, Biden announced a $7.9bn (\u00a35.9bn) package of military assistance to Ukraine.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">The aid, part of a $61bn package that passed Congress in April, will be approved through presidential drawdown authority and will pull from existing Pentagon supplies to deliver the arms more quickly.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Congressional Republicans blocked the package for months earlier this year, before ultimately relenting and passing the legislation. The delay caused arms supplies to Ukraine to dry up for several months.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Zelensky thanked the US &#8211; Ukraine&#8217;s largest foreign donor.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">At the same time, he also reportedly expressed frustration at the delay in delivering weapons that were already promised when he met US congressmen on Thursday morning.<!-- --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c80rkv0k4j8o\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Volodymyr Zelensky is meeting Joe Biden and Kamala Harris at the White House to discuss his &#8220;victory plan&#8221;, which the Ukrainian president hopes will pressure Russia into agreeing a diplomatic &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=107381\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-107381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=107381"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107381\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=107381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=107381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=107381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
