Zelensky Speaks Of“Positive Signal” On Support From U.S.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine says he received a“positive signal” from the U.S. regarding continued support for Ukraine.

He stated this at a joint press conference in Oslo with the leaders of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland following the Ukraine-Nordic summit, responding to a journalist's suggestion that his visit to the U.S. brought no desired result regarding the allocation of security assistance for Ukraine, reports Ukrinform.

"On the contrary, during meetings in the USA with House Representatives and Senators, leaders of both parties, the Administration of the President and him personally, I received a positive signal regarding the support for and assistance to Ukraine on the part of the USA. There is an issue about the timeframe and the domestic political situation – it goes without saying. But we all have confidence," the president said.
