Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is finally getting his White House visit

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is, finally, getting a visit to the White House. The foreign leader whose conversation with former President Trump sparked the ex-president's first impeachment inquiry will meet with President Biden at the White House on August 30. 

"President Biden looks forward to welcoming President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine to the White House on August 30, 2021," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement. "The visit will affirm the United States' unwavering support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia's ongoing aggression in the Donbas and Crimea, our close cooperation on energy security, and our backing for President Zelenskyy's efforts to tackle corruption and implement a reform agenda based on our shared democratic values." Mr. Biden, who has spoken with Zelenskyy since becoming president, has asserted the United States' "unwavering support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia's ongoing aggression." A conflict between Russian-backed separatists and Ukraine's army has been ongoing since 2014.
