Kuleba: United States assures Ukraine of more support

“In our call, Secretary Blinken affirmed that the U.S. support for Ukraine remains unfaltering. I underscored that Ukraine craves for peace, but as long as we are under Russia’s assault we need more sanctions and weapons. Secretary assured me of both,” Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba posted on Twitter.

According to the minister, the parties coordinated further steps.

Earlier, Kuleba informed Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, about Russia's shelling of Kharkiv city civilian infrastructure.

Russian president Vladimir Putin declared war on Ukraine on February 24 and launched a large-scale invasion. Russian troops have been shelling and destroying key infrastructure facilities. Missiles hit residential buildings.

Martial law was imposed in Ukraine and general mobilization was announced.

Ukraine officially filed a lawsuit against the Russian Federation at the UN International Court of Justice in The Hague.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the support of all Ukrainian people, courageously resist the Russian aggression.
