New York: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with US President Joe Biden on the sidelines of the 79th United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, where he briefed Biden on the current situation on the frontlines and raised the Plan of Victory, which he will discuss it in detail during negotiations in Washington today.

During their meeting, Zelenskyy also expressed gratitude for the US's support of Ukraine's defence efforts.


"I met with President Biden @POTUS on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly and expressed my gratitude for the unwavering U.S. support, which is saving lives and helping Ukraine defend its independence. I told President Biden about the situation on the frontlines and raised the Plan of Victory. We agreed to discuss it in detail during negotiations in Washington tomorrow," posted Zelenskyy on X.

Zelenskyy also participated in a G7 meeting focused on Ukraine's recovery and reconstruction, where more than 30 countries and the European Union signed a declaration aimed at supporting Ukraine's recovery after the conflict. He was accompanied by President Biden along with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

"We must not leave behind ruins that would spread resentment and bitterness after the war. This task can only be achieved together. After the devastating Second World War, the Allies launched the Marshall Plan, which gave peace the strength to become truly lasting. Today, we are laying the foundation for a similar architecture of recovery--one that will promote peace for Ukraine and all of Europe and the general welfare," Zelenskyy said during the event.
