拜登告訴澤倫斯基，“很榮幸能在你身邊。” 他補(bǔ)充說，美國和烏克蘭將繼續(xù)計劃對俄羅斯進(jìn)行“聯(lián)合防御”。
 
The Ukrainian president thanked Biden, U.S. lawmakers and the "ordinary people" of America for their support. Zelenskyy said he wanted to visit earlier, and his visit now showed the "situation is under control, because of your support." The American president then put his arm around Zelenskyy as they went inside for a meeting in the Oval Office.

At the joint news conference in the White House, Biden noted that Zelenskyy's visit came on the 300th day of Russia's invasion. He said, "As we head into the New Year, it's important for the American people, and for the world, to hear directly from you Mr. President about Ukraine's fight and the need to continue to stand together through 2023."
在白宮舉行的聯(lián)合新聞發(fā)布會上，拜登指出，澤倫斯基的訪問正值俄羅斯入侵第300天。他說：“在我們進(jìn)入新的一年之際，對于美國人民和世界來說，重要的是直接從總統(tǒng)先生那里聽到關(guān)于烏克蘭的斗爭以及在 2023 年繼續(xù)站在一起的必要性。”

Zelenskyy headed to the United States after visiting troops Tuesday on the front line in the city of Bakhmut in Ukraine's disputed Donetsk area.

The U.S. also worked with Zelenskyy on security, including the risk of Russian action while he was out of the country, a U.S. official told reporters.

Just before Zelenskyy's arrival, the U.S. announced $1.85 billion in U.S. military aid to Ukraine. The aid included the Patriot missile defense system and precision-guided bombs for its jetfighters. The Patriot missile is one of the most modern U.S. air defense systems. It can protect against attacking aircraft as well as cruise and ballistic missiles.
就在澤倫斯基到來之前，美國宣布向烏克蘭提供18.5億美元的軍事援助。援助包括愛國者導(dǎo)彈防御系統(tǒng)和噴氣式戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)的精確制導(dǎo)炸彈。愛國者導(dǎo)彈是美國最現(xiàn)代化的防空系統(tǒng)之一。它可以防御攻擊飛機(jī)以及巡航導(dǎo)彈和彈道導(dǎo)彈。
 
The U.S. Congress is also considering a vote on another spending measure that includes about $45 billion in emergency assistance to Ukraine.
美國國會還在考慮就另一項支出措施進(jìn)行投票，其中包括向烏克蘭提供約 450 億美元的緊急援助。
 
Volodymyr Fesenko is head of the Penta Center in Kyiv. He said Zelenskyy's visit to the U.S. "should determine the course of the war — Zelenskyy for the first time dared to leave Ukraine and is counting on being able to maintain, and possibly even strengthen, U.S. military and economic assistance."

Hanna Danylovych lives in Kyiv and works as a scientist. Danylovych welcomed the promise of additional military supplies. Danylovych said, "There is a great desire and dream to speed up the removal of Russian evil from our land."
