Amidst the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, US President Joe Biden is ready to visit in 'near future'. As per a video shared by European Union media Nexta, US President was asked during a presser whether he would send authorities to Ukraine. US President Biden had responded by saying that his administration is already making that decision. Furthermore, US President Biden nodded when asked if he intends to visit the war-torn nation Ukraine. Notably, Biden's nod comes after the White House denied that he is going to visit Ukraine with top officials. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki had stated that the President will not visit Ukraine.
It is pertinent to mention here that various western media reports have stated that US President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, or Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin would pay a visit to the war-ravaged country and hold meetings with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Last week, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson visited Ukraine and met Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Furthermore, Johnson had lauded the Ukrainian army for giving a tough fight to Russian troops.
Coming back to the United States-Ukraine relationship, on April 13, US President Biden gave approval to a fresh $800 million military assistance package for Ukraine, which includes artillery and helicopters. The decision was made in order to strengthen defences against Russia's escalating assault on the former Soviet state. Furthermore, advanced artillery systems, artillery shells, and sophisticated armoured personnel carriers are all part of the new package. Mi-17 helicopters, unmanned surface vehicles missiles, and high-mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWV) or Humvees will all be included in the defence aid shipment.
