“During the call, President Zelensky discussed the Russian threat at his borders, expressed gratitude for the US military assistance and that he was firmly against the Nord Stream 2 pipeline,” RIA Novosti quotes Portman.
He noted that plans for further military support to Ukraine, a ceasefire under the auspices of the OSCE and the possibility of a dialogue to improve the security situation were also discussed within the framework of the dialogue.
“As the United States and Russia move closer to organizing negotiations on Ukraine and other issues, President Zelenskiy stressed that any future negotiations on the future of Ukraine should include Ukraine itself,” the congressman explained.
He called on the Biden administration to increase military aid to the Allies, including with weapons.
The head of the office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak in an interview with Focus magazine earlier said that Kiev is constantly coordinating its actions with the United States.
He added that he himself quite often contacts with the adviser to the President of the United States for national security, Jake Sullivan.
