The day before, the White House announced that they were waiting for the Ukrainian president in Washington on August 30. But at this time, the US Congress will be on vacation, which will last from August 7 to September 20, which makes it difficult to plan meetings with congressmen and senators.
“I don’t like that time at all … We sent letters to the president (Joe Biden, ed.) Urging that this date be changed so that members of Congress could be here in Washington at one time.” I hope the president will consider it. I know that he is very busy – this is the first year of his administration. But changing the date is not so difficult – and allow us to have a proper dialogue with the Ukrainian president, “said Kaptur.
On the eve of the chosen date of Zelensky’s visit, Senator Ted Cruz also criticized. “President Zelensky will not be able to attract members of Congress who oppose Biden’s capitulation to Putin on Nord Stream 2 on a bipartisan basis. Probably just a coincidence, ”the senator wrote on Twitter.
In turn, Volodymyr Zelensky said that he expects a “meaningful and fruitful” meeting with Joe Biden on August 30.
The Office of the President of Ukraine added that the head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak and the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba will visit Washington soon to discuss the content of Zelensky’s visit to the United States.
