When a journalist asked whether the United States should satisfy all military demands of Ukraine in order to defeat Russia, Biden said: "Well, his answer is yes," pointing to Zelenskyy.
Previously, Biden made the same joke as the President of Ukraine replied to the question about extra military aid. When Zelenskyy said that in the event of another escalation, he would come to the White House and ask for even more Patriot SAMs, Biden replied: "We are working on it."
Earlier, Zelensky arrived at the White House, where he was welcomed by US President Joe Biden.
Amid the visit, on Wednesday US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken officially announced a new US$1.85 billion military aid package for Ukraine, which included the transfer of a Patriot air defence system for the first time ever.
In total, the US military aid to Ukraine has reached US$21.9 billion since the beginning of the Biden administration.
