President Zelenskiy’s White House visit now is to be in August,

before Ukraine’s 30^th Independence Day celebrations, on Aug. 24. Concorde Capital’s James Hydzik writes: “The delay stems from Washington’s ongoing concerns over the replacement of the head of Naftogaz. It is highly unlikely that the Zelensky administration will accede to Washington’s demands regarding Naftogaz under the present circumstances. As such, the welcome in Washington will be relatively cold.”
