KYIV: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged US counterpart Joe Biden to deliver a strong and “useful” message about the Russian invasion at his State of the Union speech.
Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he spoke to U.S. President Joe Biden on Tuesday about U.S. leadership on sanctions against Russia and defence assistance to Ukraine as it battles Russian troops.
“We must stop the aggressor as soon as possible. Thank you for your support!,” he said on Twitter.
Asked if he felt Ukraine was wasting its time by talking with Russia, he said: “We’ll see.” Officials from the two countries met for the first time on Monday since Russia’s invasion began last week.
