The chairman of the US House Intelligence Committee, Adam Siff, explained the three-hour discussion that members of the congressional delegation had in Kyiv with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday, and said he believed his visit was “only a matter of time”. US President Joe Biden in Ukraine. “I have to think that a presidential visit is something that is being considered, but just a question of how soon it will be possible,” Schiff told CNN’s Jim Acosta. Siff noted that the delegation did not discuss the issue in the call with Biden on Sunday. Schiff said the meeting with Zelensky focused on his priorities for further assistance, especially as the Ukrainians enter a new phase of the war with more concentrated fighting in the eastern part of the country. Delegation members then passed the information to Biden on the call, Siff said, and made recommendations to the President. Asked what he thought of Zelensky’s $ 33 billion bid for Biden in his request for additional aid to Ukraine in Congress, Siff said: “It’s his job to say that nothing is enough and, you know, we understand, we respect it. “I think they are very grateful for what we are doing.” “We wanted to talk to him, in this really huge amount, what is the priority in terms of the weapons he needs, what other help he needs,” Sif said. “We went through a detailed discussion about the next phase of the war. We are moving from a phase in which the Ukrainians ambushed Russian tanks – it was close-range combat – to a more long-range battle using long-range artillery, and that changes the nature of what “Ukraine needs to defend itself.” Sif said they discussed various issues, including ensuring that he gets the military equipment he needs and that he gets it quickly. They talked about the humanitarian crisis, refugees, war crimes and he said: “I wanted to make sure as the head of the secret services that he gets the information he needs.” Sif said members of the delegation wanted to send a message of support to Zelensky at the meeting because, “If Russia can get away with this, this naked aggression, this invasion of its neighbor, you know, what will make us believe that you will stop with Ukraine “.
