Biden Issues Warning to Russia as Ukrainian President Zelensky Visits White House
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Biden welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the
White House Wednesday, warning Russia against further military
incursions into Ukraine.

President Joe Biden: "And the United States remains firmly committed to
Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russian
aggression and - and - our support for Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic
aspirations."

President Zelensky's first White House visit came two years after
then-President Trump dangled the prospect of an Oval Office visit in
exchange for political dirt on then-candidate Joe Biden and his son,
Hunter Biden. Trump's offer of a quid pro quo led to his first
impeachment.
