For the first time in over four years, a Ukrainian president is coming to the White House.
On Tuesday [Editor’s note: the meeting was originally scheduled for Tuesday, August 31, but was later moved to September 1], President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine will meet with his American counterpart. They’re likely to cover a variety of issues: the state of relations with Russia, Ukraine’s fight against corruption and the challenges of the pandemic. After thanking President Biden for America’s continued support and assistance, the Ukrainian leader may gently inquire about NATO membership.
