During the third national security and foreign policy advisors' meeting on the implementation of the Ukrainian Peace Formula, held in Malta, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak met with U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs James O'Brien.
The participants discussed the comprehensive implementation of agreements on military and financial support for Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression, which were reached between President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President of the United States Joseph Biden during the Ukrainian leader's visit to Washington in September 2023.
The head of the President's Office emphasized that despite new global challenges, U.S. assistance to Ukraine remains steadfast. Andriy Yermak said that before the onset of winter, it is critically important for our country to receive additional air defense to protect cities and critical infrastructure. In particular, the provision of the 49th defense assistance package of $150 million on October 26 demonstrates the continuity of such support.
Andriy Yermak expressed gratitude to the U.S. President's administration for submitting a budget request to Congress for further military and financial support to our country.
