A Ukrainian delegation led by Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, together with National Security and Defense Council Secretary Rustem Umerov, is already on its way to Washington, according to the head of the President's Office, Andriy Yermak.
According to him, it will be a busy week with a lot of important work ahead. Among the main topics of the visit are strengthening Ukraine's air defense and strike capabilities, strengthening energy security ahead of winter, and increasing sanctions pressure on Russia.
“The ultimate goal remains unchanged - to achieve a sustainable and just peace for Ukraine by forcing Russia to end the war,” Yermak stressed.
