President Biden will likely visit Ukraine, the embattled country’s leader predicted in an interview aired Sunday.
“It’s his decision, of course, about the safety situation,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told CNN’s “State of the Union.” “He’s the leader of the United States, and that’s why he should come here to see.”
Asked Thursday whether he was prepared to visit Ukraine, Biden answered in the affirmative.
But the following day, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki appeared to shoot down the idea.
“He’s ready for anything,” she told the “Pod Save America” show. “The man likes the fast cars and aviators. He’s ready to go to Ukraine. It’s true he does.
“We are not sending the president to Ukraine,” Psaki concluded.
Last month, Biden visited Ukraine’s neighbor Poland, where he stunningly asserted that Russian President Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power.” He and White House staffers quickly walked back the statement, saying he wasn’t advocating regime change in the Kremlin.
Several world leaders have visited Ukraine since Russia invaded the country on Feb. 24. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson traveled to Kyiv, where he did a walking tour of the city alongside Zelenskyy, earlier this month.
Ukraine’s president insisted his country will ultimately win the brutal struggle, but said it needs more support. Last week, Biden announced $800 million in additional military aid for Ukraine — bringing total U.S. assistance to the embattled country to $2.5 billion.
“There will never be enough [assistance],” Zelenskyy said. “Enough isn’t possible.”

If there isn’t an ice cream shop left standing, don’t count on him showing up. ‘And if mine and Hunter’s business dealings over there don’t stop being cast in a bad light, you’re not getting another billion dollars.’
They could have all the icecream shops still standing.. i STILL DOUBT Biden would ever go.
Make that “The man likes fast cars, fast women, and Avatars of old men sniffing young girls, and incompetent sons looking like valid Ukrainian Oil Company board members.” His self-serving Whitehouse people have advised him better to send Hunter in his place. If the Russians blow him up, the money laundering investigation goes away. Biden/Obama leading from the rear tactics give about as a good view of what is really happening and what lies ahead as the last Canine in a dog sled team with only bad things in front of you available to sniff. Joe comes to the Ukrainian war party days late and more borrowed American dollars short, kicking and screaming like a child on his way to his first day of class in school, hoping his mommy will keep him safe from exposure of having to grow up and man up like a real leader. Zelensky has shown that great rewards always come with great risk. Joe only risks the life force of others, but claims the rewards for himself. American Presidents are easily replaced, but great leaders only come once in a lifetime.
He won’t even go to our Southern border to see how he f’d that up, let alone go to Ukraine. Both he a Harris should go to Ukraine.
AND stay there!
