CNN writes about it.

Zelensky is already on his way to Washington, two separate sources said, for a visit to the United States, his first trip outside of Ukraine since the full-scale Russian invasion began in February this year.

The visit to the White House, which will take place under tight security due to security concerns, will include a meeting with Biden and senior administration officials and is planned to coincide with the US administration's intention to send a new defense aid package to Ukraine.

During the expected visit, Biden will announce the provision of additional security assistance to Ukraine in the amount of $1.8 billion, which is a significant increase in aid, one of the American officials told CNN.

It will be done at the same time that US lawmakers are considering broad government spending that includes an additional $45 billion in emergency aid to Ukraine.

At the same time, the White House refused to comment on Zelenskyi's potential visit or Biden's message about security assistance.

Lawmakers also plan to have Zelensky visit Capitol Hill for a speech Wednesday night, though sources say the visit has not yet been confirmed as officials work on security preparations.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has yet to confirm reports of Zelensky coming to the Capitol on Wednesday, saying, "I don't know that that's going to happen."

"We don't know yet. We just don't know," she said.

Asked by CNN if there was an invitation for Zelensky, she replied: “No.

Until we know if he can come.''

"The Ukrainian leader's visit to Washington would be a landmark moment 10 months after the start of Russia's war in Ukraine.

Zelensky became the international personification of Ukrainian resistance to the invasion and spent most of the year asking for support from nations," the article says.

He made these calls virtually, visiting international summits and world legislatures to make his case for increased weapons and funding.

He remained inside his country during the war.

After the announcement of the handover to Ukraine, Patriots are expected to be sent in the coming days, and Ukrainians will be trained to use them at the US Army base in Grafenwehr, Germany, officials said.
