“And we’re meeting today at a time when Ukraine has just liberated the city of Kherson and the region, and that success is a testament once again to the remarkable courage of the Ukrainian armed forces, the Ukrainian people, as well as the strong support that Ukraine has from countries around the world, including, of course, the United States – support that will continue for as long as it takes – security, humanitarian, economic,” said Antony Blinken.
At the same time, the US Secretary of State noted the great risks for Ukraine’s energy infrastructure due to constant attacks by the Russian Federation.
“Our determination is equal to help support Ukraine to defend that critical infrastructure and, of course, to replace and repair it if it’s damaged,” emphasized the US Secretary of State.
In turn, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine thanked the United States for its help in liberating Kherson. He also noted that the US Secretary of State was one of the few who believed that Ukraine would endure.
“And it’s only together that we will be able to prevail and to kick Russia out of Ukraine. We are on the way. This is coming, and our victory will be our joint victory – victory of all peace-loving nations across the world,” noted the Ukrainian Foreign Minister.
