Due to a translation error, Blinken's words about Biden's meeting with Starmer were interpreted as an announcement of a meeting with Zelensky. The Foreign Ministry denied information about the Ukrainian president's visit to the White House.

During a press conference at the Foreign Ministry, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken confirmed the upcoming meeting between President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. However, due to a mistake in translation, his words were interpreted as an announcement of a meeting between the President of Ukraine and the leader of the White House. The Foreign Ministry explained this to a journalist from UNN .
