Kyiv: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to visit the White House this week for high-level discussions with US President Donald Trump, as Kyiv seeks increased American military and financial support in the face of Russia's escalating invasion.

The summit is anticipated to focus on boosting US support for Ukraine, such as air defence systems, weapons supply, and long-term security guarantees. Zelensky is also likely to call for sustained restrictions against Russia while discussing ways to promote peace talks.

The visit occurs at a critical juncture in the war, with Ukraine facing continuous Russian attacks and rising battlefield pressure. According to analysts, the outcome of the negotiations might have a considerable impact on Washington's future support for Kyiv.
