Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s White House visit has been postponed by one day and will take place on August 31 due to an extended agenda of wide-ranging talks. “Since the program of the visit has been expanded, the meeting between the presidents of Ukraine and the United States, President [Joe] Biden and President Zelenskyy, will take place on August 31. We have agreed with the United States to postpone this date for one day,” Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Minister Dmytro Kuleba told reporters in Kyiv on August 19.
