In New York, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and First Lady Olena Zelenska met with the Ukrainian community and visited the exhibition “Alexandra Exter: The Stage is a World” at the Ukrainian Museum.
The meeting was attended by the heads and leaders of major Ukrainian public organizations, cultural and financial institutions, scientists, and educators.
”First of all, we thank our community for the invitation. Not only for the opportunity, but frankly, for the pleasure of communicating. We do not have much time for art, and I want to thank you for these minutes. It is a pleasure to see such a promotion of Ukrainian identity,” the Head of State said.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that the Ukrainian community has been helping to keep the U.S. focused on Ukraine and urged them to continue this work.
The President spoke about the steps Ukraine is taking to achieve victory and restore a just peace, as well as the purpose of his visit to the United States and the issue of long-range capabilities.
“At first, everyone was afraid to talk about it, then when we raised the issue, we were lightly insinuated that the questions were not timely and very dangerous. And today, to be honest, we came for positive answers. Although it seems impossible. But I believe we must do everything to open this chance,” he stated.
During the meeting, they also discussed the results of the operation in the Kursk region and its strategic goals, the impressions of the visit to the United States, including the visit to the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant, and Ukraine's future in NATO.
“I believe that Ukraine has never been closer to the Alliance than it is today. It is true. With a little more determination, we will succeed,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy concluded.
