Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Feb. 13 invited President Joe Biden to visit Kyiv in what he believes would be a powerful signal to help deescalate and stabilize the situation with Russia as it continues to build up troops along Ukraine’s eastern border.
According to the Ukrainian readout of the Sunday call, Zelensky thanked Biden for sending military aid to Ukraine, saying the aid can “help prevent the spread of a mood of panic” in the country amid the ongoing tensions.
