Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected at the White House and on Capitol Hill next week as he visits the US during the United Nations General Assembly.

Mr Zelensky’s trip comes as Congress is debating President Joe Biden’s request to provide as much as 21 billion dollars (£17 billion) in military and humanitarian aid for Ukraine as it fights the Russian invasion.
