Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andrii Yermak met in Washington with U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia Keith Kellogg to discuss the situation at the front, the outcomes of meetings in Istanbul, the importance of strengthening sanctions against Russia, and military aid for Ukraine.

He shared the news via Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

“In Washington, together with my team, I met with U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia Keith Kellogg. We discussed the situation on the front lines, the outcomes of the meetings in Istanbul, the importance of increasing sanctions against Russia, and military aid for Ukraine. We also talked about the children abducted by Russia. We’ve handed over lists to Russia and are awaiting their response — it is crucial to bring them home. This is an important issue, and we appreciate that the U.S. is involved in the process,” Yermak wrote.

He emphasized that Russia is doing everything possible to avoid a ceasefire, and this must be stopped by force, as Ukraine has exhausted all peaceful means to end the war. According to him, if Russia refuses to stop the fighting voluntarily, Ukraine is compelled to carry out operations and destroy its military capabilities.

“We are grateful to U.S. President Donald Trump and to the American people, to both parties, for supporting Ukraine,” Yermak added.
