Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden at the White House today before addressing a joint meeting of Congress tonight. It’s Zelenskyy's first foreign trip since Russia invaded Ukraine last winter.
If you’re looking for more context on this matter, please consider Henry Hale, a professor of political science and international affairs and co-director of the Program on New Approaches to Research and Security in Eurasia at the George Washington University. He has spent extensive time conducting field research in post-Soviet Eurasia and is currently working on identity politics and political system change, with a special focus now on public opinion dynamics in Russia and Ukraine.
Hale is also the author of a new book, The Zelensky Effect, which was just released in Europe and will be released in North America early 2023. In this book, Hale explores “Ukraine’s national history to show how its now-iconic president reflects the hopes and frustrations of the country’s first ‘independence generation’.”
