Watch live: Biden holds press conference with Zelensky
President Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will hold a joint press conference Wednesday afternoon following their bilateral meeting in the Oval Office.
Zelensky’s visit is his first foreign trip since Russia invaded his country in February, and was kept secret while it was planned.
The press event precedes an address by Zelensky to Congress, which may soon approve $45 billion in additional aid to Ukraine as part of the $1.7 trillion spending bill. The U.S. has remained a major supporter of Ukraine’s defenses, although some Republicans have called for a limit to how far such assistance might extend.
The press event is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET.
