Ukrainian delegation goes to the USA

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, announced on Sunday (12) that he arrived in the United States with a delegation led by Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, to discuss cooperation and support for his country at war.

“I will have meetings at the White House, in Congress, with think tanks and representatives of civil society organizations,” Yermak said, specifying that the delegation would discuss “the president’s proposals for peace, strengthening Ukraine’s defense, deepening global cooperation , cooperation and many other important issues.”

Ukrainian officials, including Zelensky, meet regularly with Western leaders to maintain their mobilization on Kiev’s side, as the war has lasted 21 months and Ukraine struggles to gain ground in its counteroffensive against Russia.

The Ukrainian president also acknowledged in early November that the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic movement Hamas had “diverted attention” from the war in Ukraine.

“I am grateful to our partners for their support of Ukraine. Together we are strong,” said Yermak.
