In Washington, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with a bipartisan delegation from the U.S. Senate, led by Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, to present the key points of the Victory Plan.
The President expressed his gratitude to both parties in the Senate, the U.S. Administration, and the entire American people for their vital military, economic, energy, and humanitarian support for Ukraine.
“We have many friends here in the U.S. capital who have stood shoulder to shoulder with Ukrainians in the fight for freedom and independence since the very first days of the full-scale invasion. I thank every member of the Senate for this support,” said the President.
According to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, meetings like this are especially crucial right now, as Russia is intensifying missile attacks on critical infrastructure ahead of the heating season.
Among the topics discussed with the U.S. Senators, the focus was on the frontline situation, the immediate needs of Ukrainian warriors, joint weapons production, and key areas for continued American support. Ukraine’s priority is to secure additional air defense systems and missiles.
A separate focus of the conversation was stepping up sanctions pressure on the aggressor state, as well as using the revenues from frozen Russian assets for Ukraine’s needs.
