March 20, 2022

An Ukrainian official has invited President Joe Biden to visit Kyiv next week amid Russia's ongoing invasion of the country, saying 'one should not be afraid to – if you are brave.' Ihor Zhovka, President Volodymyr Zelensky's chief diplomatic adviser, has asked America's commander-in-chief to visit Ukraine in person when he travels to Brussels for a NATO summit next week. 'So why [doesn't] President Biden come to Ukraine to meet with the president?' When questioned about the danger of Biden traveling to Kyiv, Zhovka said: 'Well, definitely it is dangerous when you have a war against my country, a war in Europe.' Ukraine's allies have delivered planeloads of weapons shipments to bolster its military against the Russian invasion.
