U.S. President Joe Biden hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, reaffirming support for Ukraine's war efforts against Russia. Biden announced an $8 billion surge in military aid, including $5.5 billion authorized before the fiscal year's end. "Russia will not prevail. Ukraine will prevail," Biden stated during the Oval Office meeting. Zelensky, dressed in military attire, expressed gratitude for the continued U.S. support. The visit comes amid tension with Republican candidate Donald Trump, who criticized Zelensky for not negotiating with Moscow.
