In Washington, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with President of the United States Joseph Biden and presented the Victory Plan.

The President of Ukraine expressed his gratitude to Joseph Biden for his resolute support and the decisions that help protect Ukraine and its people.

“We deeply appreciate that Ukraine and America have stood side by side from the very first moments of this terrible Russian invasion. Your determination is incredibly important for us to prevail,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted.

The President also expressed his gratitude for the announced $7.9 billion package, which will support our warriors on the frontline.

“​I want to thank you for all the years of supporting Ukraine, our independence. I remember how important your phone call to Kyiv was on the first day of the Russian invasion. And I also remember your visit to Ukraine at a critical moment in February 2023 – it was a brave decision,” the President of Ukraine said.

He presented the Victory Plan to the U.S. President. The leaders discussed the diplomatic, economic, and military aspects of the Plan and instructed their teams to hold consultations on the future steps.

On October 12, Joseph Biden will hold a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group at the level of leaders in Germany. The Presidents of Ukraine and the United States will have a bilateral meeting to review the progress of consultations. Also, they will meet with international partners to coordinate additional support for Ukraine.

Joseph Biden assured that the United States will provide all necessary support for Ukraine to prevail and announced a decision to increase security assistance.

“First, right now we have to strengthen Ukraine's position on the battlefield, and that's why today I'm proud to announce a new $2.4 billion package of security assistance. I've also directed the Pentagon to allocate all the remaining security assistance funding that has been appropriated for Ukraine by the end of my term, which is January 20th. And this will strengthen Ukraine's position in future negotiations. Second, we look ahead to help Ukraine succeed in the long term,” the U.S. President emphasized.
