Ukraine’s Zelenskyy preparing to visit DC on Wednesday

[AProudLefty]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is preparing to visit Washington on Wednesday, according to three AP sources, in his first known trip outside the country since Russia’s invasion began in February.

Two congressional sources and one person familiar with the matter confirmed plans for the visit. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the highly sensitive nature of the trip. They said Zelenskyy’s visit, while expected, could still be called off at the last minute due to security concerns.

The visit to Washington is set to include an address to Congress on Capitol Hill and a meeting with President Joe Biden. It comes as lawmakers are preparing to vote on a year-end spending package that includes about $45 billion in emergency assistance to Ukraine and as the U.S. prepares to send Patriot surface-to-air missiles to help stave off Russia’s invasion.​

Surely all of the African leaders who were recently in Washington that did not snag a meeting with Biden (all of them) have taken note. Remember too that China is kicking our ass in Africa.

OI !



He will, no doubt ' Pass Go ' and collect billions of dollars, address Congress and receive a hundred standing ovations from the scurrilous hypocrites who applaud the invasion of Palestine and the subjugation of its people by Jewish fascists. The arms industry oligarchs will have a laughing fit and JPP morons will polish their imaginary halos in the conditioned believe that Russians are evil and that god has chosen Israel, Zelensky and the US of A.

Haw, haw................................haw.
