Zelensky said, at a press conference, that US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will travel to Kyiv on Sunday for talks.
He added that he will discuss with Blinken and Austin the types of weapons that Ukraine needs to counter the Russian military operation.
Zelensky expressed his hope that his US counterpart, Joe Biden, would be able to “come to support the Ukrainian people” in Kyiv when the security situation permits.
He said Sunday’s discussions would focus on US arms shipments to Ukraine.
“Everything improved last week, signals, messages, steps, deadlines, deadlines, I’m talking about US weapons,” the Ukrainian president said.
“I am grateful to the US administration,” he added, expressing his hope to obtain “heavier and stronger weapons” to confront the Russian army.
It is noteworthy that Austin and Blinken’s visit will be the first of its kind by representatives of the US government to Ukraine since February 24, the date of the beginning of the Russian military operation in Ukraine.
