Ukrainian Minister of Defense Rustem Umerov, along with the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, had a telephone conversation with the head of the Pentagon, Lloyd Austin, according to the Telegram channel of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
According to Umerov, the conversation focused on meeting the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"We informed Secretary of Defense Austin about the current situation on the front lines and discussed changes in key areas. We are working together to meet the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and enhance the capabilities of the Ukrainian army," said Umerov.
Assistance from the United States to Ukraine
The United States has been unable to approve new funding for assistance to Ukraine for several months. As a result, the supply of weaponry to our defenders from Americans has been suspended.
Earlier, we reported that the US is preparing a compromise version of the bill that includes assistance to Ukraine.
We also mentioned that the US House of Representatives may vote on aid to Ukraine at the end of March or in April.
Preparations are underway in the House of Representatives to approve assistance to Ukraine bypassing Speaker Mike Johnson.
