During a working visit to the United States, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic congressmen.
The Head of State emphasized the powerful bicameral and bipartisan support provided to Ukraine by the Congress, U.S. President Joseph Biden and the entire American people to counter Russian aggression.
In the course of the meeting, the President discussed with the Congressmen the key needs of Ukraine in armaments and military equipment, as well as in bolstering air defense, especially with the onset of winter.
The parties also discussed joint production with the United States of the necessary weapons for Ukraine. Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised the USA – Ukraine Defense Industrial Base Conference held in Washington on December 5-6.
"Now that Ukraine has liberated 50% of its territories illegally occupied by Russians since 2022, ensured the operation of the "grain corridor" and is winning in the Black Sea, we need continued U.S. support and the unity of our partners as never before," the President said.
The Head of State assured that Ukraine is using all the aid from the United States in an extremely transparent, efficient and responsible manner, in close cooperation with American partners.
