Iran Press/ Europe: "President Biden has invited President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine to visit Washington D.C. to underscore the United States' enduring commitment to Ukraine," said White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre in a written statement, confirming multiple reports about a possible surprise visit by the Ukrainian leader.
"During the visit, President Biden will announce a significant new package of security assistance to help Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression," said Jean-Pierre, adding the visit would also underscore the US' "steadfast commitment to supporting Ukraine for as long as it takes," including through the provision of economic, humanitarian, and military assistance.
Biden will welcome Zelenskyy at the White House on Wednesday for a bilateral meeting before the two leaders host a joint press conference, according to a senior administration official who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity.
