United States President Joe Biden has welcomed his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to the White House, with Washington confirming it will transfer the Patriot air defence missile system to Ukraine as part of a $1.85bn military aid package.
Zelenskyy’s arrival in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, marked the president’s first known trip outside of Ukraine since Russia invaded the country in February.
The Ukrainian president has addressed the US Congress, saying his country will never surrender to Russia.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy told a packed chamber that military aid to Ukraine is an investment in global security and democracy.
It is his first overseas trip since the Russian invasion began.
