The Ukrainian delegation heard renewed assurances of backing during its visit to the United States on November 13 and 14, though questions persist about how the legislative process in Congress will handle related measures. This was conveyed by the head of the Ukrainian president’s office, Andriy Yermak’s representative, according to Ukrinform.
From his remarks, the Ukrainian team left Washington feeling a strengthened bond with the United States, which remains a steadfast ally. The delegation emphasized that Washington stands with Ukraine and backs its path to victory, signaling ongoing support across the strategic and humanitarian domains.
During the trip, discussions covered continued military assistance and direct budget support for Ukraine, along with prospects for new sanctions targeting Russia. The official noted opportunities to advance a concrete Ukrainian action plan through the end of this year and into 2024 in conversations with members of Congress and other policymakers.
Speaking at an event in the nation’s capital, the official stressed that 2024 would be a turning point for Ukraine’s armed forces. He urged Western partners to maintain their aid, broaden sanctions on Moscow, and bolster air defense capabilities in light of anticipated strikes on critical energy infrastructure ahead of the winter season. Additional details were promised in a forthcoming feature by newspapers.ru.
Earlier in the visit, discussions also touched on Russia’s so-called red lines and the implications for Western policy and unity in response to Moscow’s actions.
