Ukrainian Foreign Minister: The U.S. Remains Ukraine's Main Ally Against Russian Aggression

In a joint press conference on Wednesday in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba highlighted U.S. support, stating, "Today we once again realized that the U.S. remains Ukraine's main partner and ally in countering Russian aggression." The U.S. Secretary of State also emphasized the "commitment of the United States" to support Ukraine's defense and humanitarian needs, unveiling a one-billion-dollar aid package for Ukraine. Antony Blinken praised the resilience of the Ukrainian people and the country's progress in reclaiming territories occupied by Russian forces. At the same time, Kuleba expressed gratitude for U.S. support and stressed the importance of military assistance, particularly in terms of "air defense capabilities" and "providing long-range missiles." He also emphasized that Ukraine is seeking support, not the deployment of American troops, and thanked the U.S. for allowing other countries to supply F-16 fighter jets. Antony Blinken arrived in Kyiv on Wednesday, September 6, on an unannounced trip. The purpose of his visit is to demonstrate continued U.S. support for Ukraine's efforts to counter Russian aggression. Ukraine is currently in a challenging counteroffensive phase to reclaim its occupied territories from Russia. The U.S. State Department stated that Blinken would meet and discuss with senior Ukrainian officials during his two-day visit and reaffirm America's commitment to Ukraine, which is engaged in a tough war with its large neighbor.
