Zelensky explained why Biden’s visit is important for Ukraine
President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his desire for his American colleague Joe Biden to come to Ukraine.
According to him, the head of the White House is not against visiting our country. However, there are a number of security points.
The Ukrainian leader said this in an interview with the American CNN channel.
«I believe that it would help Ukrainians first of all. Ukrainians support the United States. The rating of trust of Ukrainians in the United States is very high. It is high, as well as in Britain, and in Poland, and in the Baltic countries. That is why the visits of the leaders of the states that Ukrainians consider not just partners, but real friends – this is a strong signal. A cool signal (Biden’s arrival – Ed.) that the United States supports and really believes in victory, is not afraid of Russia. Despite the fact that missiles are flying, they are coming, they are not afraid of Putin. Because this is one leader of one state, and the world is bigger,» the president noted.
Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine supports similar signals. «If President Biden is able to come, we are only in favor. People will perceive it only positively. He would get a feeling of gratitude and support from the Ukrainian people,» he added.
