Aug. 25 () –

The President of the United States, Joe Biden, assured his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodimir Zelenski, on Thursday that the US Administration “will continue to help Ukraine and its population as they fight to defend their sovereignty.”

The two leaders spoke by phone, one day after the “bittersweet” celebration of Ukraine’s Independence Day, as Biden acknowledged on Twitter. Coinciding with this symbolic date, Washington announced another aid package valued at some 3,000 million dollars.

Zelensky thanked Biden for the “unwavering” support shown since February, when Russian President Vladimir Putin gave the order to launch a military offensive that continues to this day. According to the Ukrainian president, US support is both economic and security.


“We have discussed future steps on our path to victory over the aggressor and the importance of Russia being held accountable for war crimes,” Zelensky said on his Twitter account.
