“The United States is a leader in strong support of Ukraine in the fight against Russian aggression,” the Ukrainian president tweeted.
“Our delegation traveled to Kyiv to send an unequivocal and resounding message to the world: the United States stands with Ukraine,” according to a statement from the American delegation issued after the visit of their delegation, which is then to go to Poland.
“Additional American support is on the way”, underline the American parliamentarians who assure that they will “transform President Biden’s strong request for funding into a legislative package”.
President Zelensky, for his part, welcomed the “very important signals” given by the United States and President Joe Biden, including the Lend-Lease (Lend-Lease) program for Ukraine, like the one put in place by the United States during the Second World War, in order to provide friendly countries with war material without intervening directly in the conflict.
This visit comes a week after the trip to kyiv by the head of American diplomacy Antony Blinken and the American Minister of Defense Lloyd Austin.
During their trip, the two officials announced the gradual return of an American diplomatic presence in Ukraine and additional direct and indirect aid of more than $700 million.
