U.S. President Joe Biden, along with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, will hold a joint press conference at the White House on Wednesday. Zelenskyy will be in Washington, D.C. to address Congress on the war in Ukraine.

This is Zelenskyy's first known trip outside the country since Russia's invasion began in February.

The highly-sensitive trip is taking place after 10 months of a brutal war that has seen tens of thousands killed and wounded on both sides of the conflict, along with devastation for Ukrainian civilians.

It also comes as U.S. lawmakers are set to vote on a year-end spending package that includes about $45 billion in emergency assistance to Ukraine and as the Pentagon prepares to send Patriot surface-to-air missiles to the country to defend itself.
