“We want to provide you with comprehensive information. Because you know that President Zelensky's position is that the United States is our friend, we are strategic partners, and we want to be as open as possible, because without trust it is impossible to move together to Ukraine's victory.

First Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Economy Yulia Svyrydenko emphasized the need to strengthen export controls to prevent critical Western-made technologies from entering Russia (including through third countries), as well as to put sanctions pressure on Russian metallurgical enterprises.
