The US Senate will meet with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy virtually on Saturday, Fox News reported, adding that all US senators have been invited to participate in the meeting taking place virtually at 9:30am Eastern Time.
Earlier, US President Joe Biden had said that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was an attack on not only this country, but also on the security of Europe. In an interaction with reporters during a bilateral meeting with President Niinist of Finland on Friday, Biden said the two nations have been in regular touch for some time now. He said they have coordinated on a united, transatlantic response to the Russians and holding them accountable for their unprovoked and unjustifiable aggression against Ukraine. "And we agreed it is not only an attack on Ukraine, it's an attack on the security of Europe and on global peace and stability," Biden said in the Oval Office of the White House.
Earlier in the day, Biden spoke with President Andrzej Duda of Poland to discuss their countries' response, and those of allies, to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, including ongoing efforts to impose severe consequences on Russia.
Biden underscored the United States' commitment to the security of Poland and all of our NATO Allies, White House said in a statement of the call. He welcomed Poland's partnership in hosting 9,000 US forces, including 4,700 additional service members deployed there in recent weeks, to reassure eastern flank allies, deter Russian aggression against NATO, read the statement.
