Zelensky visited the United States today (21st). It is reported that Biden will meet with Zelensky at the White House , and the latter will also deliver a speech in the US Congress.
1. The purpose of Zelensky’s visit to the United States
The direct purpose of Zelensky’s visit is to promote the allocation of US$45 billion in aid from the US Congress. With this aid, Ukraine's financial crisis will be greatly alleviated, and it will also give Zelensky the confidence to continue to toughen Putin .
Another purpose of Zelensky is to ask the United States for more weapons, including but not limited to "Patriot" missile defense system , cluster bombs , precision-guided missiles and other weapons with better defensive performance and more lethality.
2. Will Zelensky go back?
Zelensky’s personal safety in Ukraine is guaranteed because Russia currently has no plans to launch a “decapitation operation”. However, this kind of security is only relative. Zelensky can disappear from the earth at any time as long as Russia wants.
Zelensky’s visit is his first overseas trip since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in February. After visiting the United States, he is bound to continue to visit other NATO member states, such as France and the United Kingdom. In a series of visits, Zelensky will ask for more money, weapons and propaganda for Ukraine.
If Zelensky is a warrior, he will return to his country as soon as possible and fight with his soldiers; if Zelensky is an actor, he will most likely not return.
