Meetings of the Ukrainian delegation
According to him, dozens of meetings were held - in Congress, the Pentagon, the Senate, with the White House, think tanks and the US defence industry.
"Each of them had the same goal - to strengthen Ukraine's capabilities and take steps towards a just peace," Umierov said.
Zelenskyy and Trump's meeting
Together with the Ukrainian delegation, we took part in a meeting between President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump.
"A substantive conversation lasted more than two hours. We discussed the situation on the frontline, the need for long-range vehicles and air defence, as well as further diplomatic steps. Ukraine expects US leadership to help stop the aggression that Russia deliberately continues," he said.
According to Umierov, he also met with the heads of leading American think tanks. "We talked about the battlefield, technologies and defence solutions that can speed up the end of the war. We highly appreciate the involvement of the US analytical community, which works together with our military to find effective solutions.
