Ukrainian President Voldymyr Zelensky thanked US President Joe Biden on Sunday for the powerful “financial assistance offered by the US, which totals $37 billion, and for the new military aid package.
A great gratitude from our people. I'm glad we have such strong relations”, Zelensky said, adding: “We discussed further co-operation to strengthen our country's defence capabilities”.
Beden earlier announced the $375m aid package, which includes ammunition, artillery and vehicles, while meeting with Zelensky in Japan at the G7 summit, CNN reports.
The United States continues to do everything we can to strengthen Ukraine's ability to protect itself,” said Beden, citing his recent decision to allow F16 fighter planes to go to Ukraine and train Ukrainian pilots on a plane to the United States.
Biden said the new sanctions against Russia would ensure that we keep pressure on Putin to keep his supporters accountable”.
