Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky expresses satisfaction with US visit

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has returned to Kyiv after visiting US and Poland. In a brief evening address on Thursday while en route home, he expressed satisfaction with his visit to Washington. He thanked US President Biden for his help and his international leadership. 

Before returning to Ukraine, Mr. Zelensky stopped off in Poland, where he met for two hours with the Polish president, Andrzej Duda, near the airport in the southeastern city of Rzeszow.

Rzeszow is a major transit



point for Western weapons flowing into neighboring Ukraine and for refugees fleeing Ukraine into Poland. Mr. Duda, in a tweet message, said that the two leaders had discussed strategic plans for actions and cooperation in the upcoming 2023.

Russian President Vladimir V. Putin’s spokesperson Dmitri S. Peskov said that Mr Zelensky's visit to Washington suggests that the United States is continuing its line of de facto fighting an indirect war with Russia.
