Following the vote in the US House of Representatives, I spoke with Joe Biden, who assured me that he will sign the bill immediately as soon as it is approved by the Senate.

I appreciate President Biden's unwavering support for Ukraine and true global leadership.

I also noted the bill's bipartisan support and the personal contributions of Speaker Mike Johnson and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to its passage.

The House’s other decision to allow the confiscation of frozen Russian assets also sends a strong signal to all of our partners.

I also informed President Biden about Russia's air terror using thousands of missiles, drones, and bombs, including the recent strike on the Kharkiv TV tower just minutes before we spoke. Russia clearly signals its intention to make the city uninhabitable.

We discussed the contents of the next U.S. military aid package. The President has assured me that the package will be approved quickly and that it will be powerful, strengthening our air defense as well as long-range and artillery capabilities.

We also discussed our work on a bilateral security agreement and the preparations for the upcoming Global Peace Summit in Switzerland.

Today, I welcomed a bipartisan delegation of the United States Congress. I am grateful for this visit following a very powerful and critically important decision for us. The people of Ukraine were counting on this decision. We are glad that the United States remains with Ukraine, that it remains our main powerful ally.

We discussed military macro-financial support and military assistance, including the need for artillery shells, long-range missiles, electronic warfare equipment, UAVs, combat aviation, and support in developing the Ukrainian defense industry.

We also talked about the confiscation of Russian terrorists’ frozen assets, support for Ukraine on its path to NATO, security commitments, Ukraine’s Peace Formula, and U.S. participation in the first inaugural Peace Summit.

Maximum damage must be inflicted on everything that Russia relies on for terror and timely military logistics.

I am grateful to everyone around the world who is willing to help us with this, and we are working with our American partners to expand our capabilities.

Four key priorities are sky protection, modern artillery, long-range capabilities, and the possibility of receiving American assistance packages as soon as possible.

And today we have a result: everything has been decided in the ATACMS negotiations for Ukraine. I am grateful to President Biden, Congress, and the entire United States.
