Visit of Zelenskyy to the White House falls on the 300th day since #Russia invaded #Ukraine, notes President Biden, adding that Ukrainians have an unbreakable determination to stand up to the imperial appetites of Putin.

"The American people are prepared to have us stand up to bullies," says President Biden. "We've not done it alone."

#Ukraine "has defied Russia's expectations at every single turn," notes President Biden, adding Putin "has no intention of stopping this cruel war."

"It's going to take some time to complete the training" for Ukrainian forces on Patriot missile batteries, says President Biden.

"Russia is using winter as a weapon" by freezing and starving innocent Ukrainian civilians, including children and their families, says President Biden.

On this fourth night of Chanukah, President Zelenskyy and other will honor the miracle of this story of survival and resilience, says President Biden. "The light will remain and prevail over the darkness."

"The main issue during today's talks is to strengthen Ukraine next year to move forward to fight for our freedom and independence," says President Zelenskyy at a White House news conference with President Biden.

"Very good talks" today with President Biden on next year's strategic steps in the #UkraineRussiaWar, says President Zelenskyy.

"We need to survive this winter. We need to protect our people," adds President Zelenskyy.

"I am very grateful to President Biden," says President Zelenskyy. "Glory to Ukraine."

There's a brief technical glitch while President Biden answers the first question and he begins to hear his remarks in Ukrainian in his earpiece, causing him to pause.
