The Ukrainian President “thanked the United States for its unwavering support since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion.”
Ukrainian cities of Lviv, Poltava, Kharkiv, Odesa, have suffered Russian strikes with “more than 40 people killed”, as disclosed by President Zelenskyy.
According to President Zelenskyy: “I spoke with @POTUS Joe Biden and thanked the United States for its unwavering support since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
President Biden’s leadership in uniting the world and America’s strong bipartisan support have been crucial in helping Ukraine stand firm and defend our independence.
I am grateful to President Biden, both parties in Congress, and the American people for the $425 million defense package announced today, which includes new air defense systems and long-range weapons.
I offered to explore ways to enhance our cooperation in producing weapons together. We also talked about the importance of additional training for Ukrainian warriors.
We paid special attention to the upcoming online meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group. I informed President Biden about my address to the Ukrainian Parliament today, where the Victory Plan received strong support from all parliamentary parties and groups. Tomorrow, I will present it to our EU partners at the European Council meeting.
We are continuing to work with partners to put the Peace Formula into action. We are grateful to the U.S. for its commitment to helping Ukraine strengthen its positions in order to force Russia into good faith diplomacy.”
