President Joe Biden will meet his Ukrainian counterpart at the UN General Assembly to discuss Ukraine’s strategy for the war ahead of the US elections, said White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.

With little more than four months before a new US president is sworn in, “we are going to treat each single one of those days preciously when it comes to supporting Ukraine,” Sullivan said via a video link to the annual Yalta European Strategy conference in Kyiv, organized by businessman Victor Pinchuk.
