Today, October 13, a Ukrainian delegation headed to Washington. The visit is dedicated to strengthening defense cooperation, Ukraine’s energy security ahead of winter, and increasing sanctions pressure on Russia.
This was announced by the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak.
“Our delegation, led by Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, together with NSDC Secretary Rustem Umerov, is heading to Washington. It will be a busy week, with a lot of work ahead,” Yermak wrote.
The agenda includes the goals announced by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy:
- defense: strengthening Ukraine’s air defense and strike capabilities;
- energy: strengthening resilience ahead of winter;
- sanctions: new pressure on the aggressor.
As Yermak noted, the ultimate goal remains unchanged: a lasting and just peace for Ukraine by forcing Russia to end the war.
