The Ukrainian delegation in the United States met with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during which they discussed steps that could compel Russia to end the war, according to Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak.
"Key meeting of the day. A very important conversation with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who also serves as the President's National Security Advisor — one of the main architects of American foreign policy," Yermak said.
He added that together with Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Svyrydenko, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Rustem Umerov, First Deputy Foreign Minister Sergiy Kyslytsya, and Ukraine's Ambassador to the United States Olga Stefanishyna, they discussed the details of preparing the meeting between the Presidents of Ukraine and the United States scheduled for this Friday.
"We exchanged views on what the long-term security architecture should be — not only for Ukraine but for all of Europe," the Head of the Presidential Office added.
According to him, the leadership of the United States, and personally President Donald Trump, made peace in the Middle East possible. This is the kind of vision the world and Ukraine need today. They also discussed steps that could compel Russia to end the war.
"Thank you, Marco Rubio. The American people are truly fortunate to have such a strong and principled Secretary of State," Yermak emphasized.
