President Volodymyr Zelensky met with members of the U.S. Congress Richard Blumenthal and Jim Himes to discuss continued support for Ukraine, with a focus on strengthening air defense systems.
According to Ukrinform, Zelensky reported this on Facebook.
“It is an important visit during these difficult days after a massive attack. We are grateful to the United States, to the President, Congress for their strong bipartisan support, and to all Americans,” he wrote.
The main topic of the meeting was further support for Ukraine, particularly the strengthening of air defense.
“We have a significant need for antiballistic missiles due to the constant Russian attacks. I sent a letter to the White House and the U.S. Congress outlining Ukraine’s needs for such missiles. And today, I also personally handed this letter to the congressmen. We are counting on timely support,” Zelensky said.
