U.S. President Joe Biden welcomed Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the White House on Wednesday with renewed assurances of U.S. support amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Thank you first of all,” Zelenskyy told the U.S. president in a meeting in the Oval Office. “It’s a great honor to be here.”
The Ukrainian president, who said he had wanted to come to the United States earlier, offered his appreciation to Biden, the U.S. Congress, and ordinary Americans for their support.
He gave Biden the Ukrainian cross for military merit, offered by a captain of a HIMARS rocket unit it had been awarded to.
