Zelenskyy to visit Biden as Ukraine seeks approval for long-range weapons

Zelenskyy visit to the White House was aimed at securing long-range weapons.

Washington: When Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visits the White House next week, securing long-range missiles will headline his agenda with President Joe Biden.

While Biden has reaffirmed support, his administration still seeks clarity on how Kyiv would utilize such weaponry and strategic objectives.

Officials worry loosening restrictions provides limited impact versus risks like Russian President Vladimir Putin’s threatening “war” remarks.

Defense officials argue existing drones enable hits deeper within Russia, yet Kyiv clarified it seeks strikes farther than before.

Zelenskyy will also meet Vice President Kamala Harris, a potential presidential candidate following Biden’s endorsement after abandoning reelection.

Former President Donald Trump claims ending the war would entail a demilitarized zone and barring Ukraine from retaking Russian-held areas or joining NATO, as per his running mate.

The White House talks aim to navigate geopolitical pressures while aiding Ukraine’s defense amid Moscow’s ongoing aggression.
