According to webangah News Agency, senior Ukrainian officials traveled to Washington on Tuesday to seek U.S. backing against Russia, as Kyiv demonstrated its capacity to continue the war by destroying a bridge that had become a symbol of Kremlin claims over Ukrainian territory.
The delegation included Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian President’s Office, and Yulia Svyrydenko, Deputy Prime Minister.
Ukraine accuses Moscow of delaying peace talks. Yermak stated he would emphasize Kyiv’s demands for stricter sanctions against Russia during his U.S. visit.
Upon arriving in washington, Yermak posted on Telegram: “We will actively defend Ukraine’s interests. Our agenda in America is thorough-we plan discussions with U.S. counterparts on defense support, battlefield developments, and escalating sanctions against Russia.”
He added: “We will also negotiate an agreement granting American preferential access to Ukraine’s new mining projects and establishing an investment fund for reconstruction.”
The trip follows inconclusive peace talks in istanbul that failed to advance efforts toward ending Russia’s war in Ukraine.
