President of Ukraine is expected to make a daring trip on Wednesday to meet with President Biden at the White House and address Congress in person, according to four people familiar with the planning, writes The New York Times.

The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of concerns about Volodymyr Zelensky’s safety, cautioned that the plans were not final and could change. The risks involved in such a visit are high, and tight secrecy would surround any such effort.

Ukrainian leader is expected to join Joe Biden at the White House for an announcement - likely to include a pledge by the Biden administration of a new round of military assistance - before heading to Capitol Hill for a prime time speech, according to two people familiar with the planning.

White House officials declined on Tuesday evening to confirm a meeting between the two presidents.
