“Tomorrow US officials will come to visit us: I will meet with the defense minister (Lloyd Austin) and with Antony Blinken,” Zelensky reported during a news conference at a kyiv metro station.
In addition, the head of state assured that he hoped that his peer Biden would visit him to “support the Ukrainian people” although he clarified that the security conditions must be met.
The Ukrainian president specified that Sunday’s talks will focus on US arms deliveries to Ukraine.
“Last week, the signals, the messages, the steps, the deadlines, the numbers – I mean American weapons – everything got better,” he told reporters and said he was “grateful” to the US administration, although he would like to have “even heavier and more powerful weapons” to confront the Russian army.
This week, Biden announced a special $800 million military aid package for Ukraine to boost the military capabilities of Ukrainian forces in the face of advancing Russians.

The objective of the package and the weapons that will arrive in the coming days is to control the south of Ukraine and the eastern region of Donbass, areas that are currently the focus of the armed conflict and where intense Russian attacks have been registered.
This Saturday, the Ukrainian government reported that despite the kyiv offensive they managed to control three towns near eastern Kharkov, the country’s second largest city.
“After long and fierce fighting, our troops dislodged the Russian troops from Bezruki, Slatine and Prudyanka,” Kharkov region governor Oleg Synegubov said on Telegram.
As indicated, two people died and 19 were wounded in Russian bombardments in that region in the last day.
