Zelensky Brings "Victory Plan" to White House; Meets with Biden and Harris

 U.S. President Joe Biden welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the White House today (Sept. 26, 2024) , after announcing billions in military aid for Kyiv, insisting that Russia "will not prevail" in its invasion of Ukraine, the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty website reports. 


Zelensky presented Biden with what he has referred to as his "victory plan" and requested that the United States lift restrictions on the use of long--range weapons it has provided to strike deep inside Russia at military targets. 


"Russia will not prevail. Ukraine will prevail, and we'll continue to stand by you every step of the way, " Biden said as he hosted Zelensky in the Oval Office, after thanking him for presenting his plan. 


"We deeply appreciate that Ukraine and America have stood side by side," said Zelensky , dressed in a dark green military --style outfit. 


Zelensky also met with Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party's nominee for president, later at the White House , and shared his "victory plan" with her. 


Harris told Zelensky that her support for the people of Ukraine was unwavering. 


"The Ukrainian people are bravely defending their homes and their homeland, their freedom and their democracy against a brurtal dictator," Harris told Zelensky. 


Biden earlier today announced more than $9 billion in military aid for Kyiv and repeated in a statement that the U.S. will "provide Ukraine with the support it needs to win this war."
