The president also explained that Ukrainians celebrating symbolic days always wish for victory.
"Today, we wish President Biden what is so needed for freedom: victory in our common struggle against aggression and terror," he noted.
Biden's Birthday
Today, on November 20, U.S. President Joe Biden celebrates his 81st birthday, making him the oldest president in U.S. history.
The United States is also a leader in providing military assistance to Ukraine, offering tanks, Patriot and NASAMS anti-aircraft missile systems, HIMARS rocket systems, long-range ATACMS missiles, and more.
President Zelensky has met with Biden several times since the full-scale invasion by Russia into Ukraine.
It is worth noting that this is already the second visit by Austin to Ukraine during the full-scale war.
