Ukraine’s First Lady Declines US Invite

Sharing is Caring!

Ukraine first lady Olena Zelenska declined a White House invitation, citing a schedule conflict, reports Politico. The plan was for her to sit with Jill Biden and Yulia Navalnaya, widow of Alexei Navalny, reports the Washington Post. However, the Post adds that the real reason Zelenska declined was because Navalnaya’s potential proximity “caused discomfort” in Kyiv. It seems that, years ago, when Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine, Navalny supported the move. His views had changed since then, but the animosity apparently lingers.
