Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will visit Washington next Thursday and will talk with President Joseph Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Zelensky is "pressuring" the US to allow Ukraine to use weapons provided by the West to strike deeper into Russia.
"I look forward to hosting my friend President of Ukraine Zelensky next Sunday at the White House. During his visit, I will reaffirm America's commitment to support Ukraine as it defends its freedom and independence," Biden wrote on X.
The Biden administration remains unconvinced that Ukraine should be given the authority to launch long-range missiles deeper into Russia, and U.S. officials say they are seeking more detailed information about how Kiev would use the weapons and how they fit into a broader strategy for the war.
US officials are concerned that granting permission would have limited impact and pose a high risk. Russian President Vladimir Putin warned last Sunday that Russia would be "at war with the US and its NATO allies" if it allowed Ukraine to use long-range weapons.
US military officials have repeatedly argued that the number of long-range missiles is limited and that Ukraine is already using its own drones to strike targets deeper inside Russia.
Zelenski will meet separately with Kamala Haris, who is the presidential candidate of the Democrats in the upcoming elections.
She last met with the Ukrainian president in July at an international gathering in Switzerland to discuss the war, just before Biden announced he was dropping his re-election bid and backing Harris.
On the other hand, former President Donald Trump has repeatedly said that he will take steps to quickly end the war if he wins the elections in November.
His running mate, Senator JD Vance, said in a recent interview that Trump's plan would include establishing a "demilitarized zone" and that Ukraine would not return territory occupied by Russia and would agree not to join NATO.
