According to US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Joe Biden will meet with Volodymyr Zelenskyy twice in a little over a week. 

"So, in the course of a little more than a week, the president will have two substantive engagements with President Zelenskyy," Sullivan said.

According to him, the first meeting will take place in France during the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy on June 6, and then at the G7 summit in Italy.

“While in Normandy for the 80th anniversary of the World War II D-Day landings this week, Biden will have the opportunity to sit down with President Zelenskyy," Sullivan noted.

He added that Biden is also going to meet with Zelenskyy again at the G7 meeting on June 13-15 in Bari, Italy, which will focus on using frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine.

The meeting between the two leaders was also confirmed by the head of Ukraine's Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak. 

“There are two meetings between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Joe Biden ahead - important issues of support for Ukraine, strengthening our defense 9to be discussed - ed.),” Yermak wrote.

  • On June 3, the White House announced that Vice President Kamala Harris would participate in the Peace Summit on Ukraine, which will take place on June 15-16 in Switzerland.
