Support for Ukraine
"And our parliamentary diplomacy is also working in America right now — Parliament Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk. Before the trip, we discussed what is needed most. And this concerns support for our state, our people, and also the talks," the president said.
According to Zelenskyy, Stefanchuk has already met with Speaker Johnson, with congressmen, and with many friends of Ukraine in the United States. The Ukrainian Prayer Breakfast also took place.
"I want to thank everyone for their support, and thank you, Ruslan, for productive parliamentary diplomacy. All the forces of our state, everyone now, must be directed toward one thing, supporting Ukraine, supporting Ukrainians, supporting our defense, our resilience, our independence.
