As of today, US military assistance to Ukraine continues. This was stated by Foreign Ministry spokesman Georgiy Tykhyi during a press conference, an UNN correspondent reports .
“As for the US military assistance to Ukraine, this assistance is still ongoing. As for the specific amounts that remained in the presidential program, let's see how things develop. Again, we will see how the contact between the Ukrainian and American sides will take place, but I am convinced that all the issues that exist can be resolved,” Tychy said.
The Foreign Ministry spokesperson emphasized that, in general, US military support for Ukraine is a strategic thing and it is strategically important for America itself.
“We are convinced of this, and we convey this to the American side, that this support contributes to the stability of Europe and is key to achieving a just peace,” Tychy said.
In addition, Tychyi noted that Ukraine's position is that pressure on the aggressor state should consist of two components: economic and military.
