Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy discussed getting further support from the U.S. during a call with President Joe Biden, his adviser said on Wednesday. Serhii Nikiforov said Zelenskiy spoke with the U.S. President and discussed a number of issues including supplies of weapons to Ukraine and further sanctions on Moscow. Zelenskiy urged Biden to strengthen actions against Russian banks, ban Russian ships from entering the U.S. ports and ban the import of Russian minerals. Following the call Biden approved $800 million in new military assistance to Ukraine, including artillery and helicopters, to bolster its defenses against an intensified Russian offensive in the country's East. Biden said the U.S. will continue to work with allies to share additional weapons and resources as the conflict continues.
