Ukraine will insist on recognizing Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism and will stress importance of strengthening armed support - Yermak

Ukraine will continue to insist that the Russian Federation is recognized as a state sponsor of terrorism, and states that the continuation and strengthening of armed support for Ukraine from the United States is absolutely necessary.

The head of the President's Office, Andriy Yermak, said this during a video conference with representatives of the Ukrainian Congressional Committee of America, the OP press service reports.

At the beginning of the conversation, he expressed gratitude to Ukrainians around the world, particularly in the United States, for the support our country has felt during all the months of the full-scale Russian invasion.

"The Ukrainian diaspora is a cementing link that unites the efforts of American society to help fight against Russian total evil," Yermak emphasized.

He also reminded that 215 defenders of Ukraine, including two US citizens, were recently released from Russian captivity, and the work on the liberation of all prisoners will not stop.

The head of the president office said that Ukraine will continue to insist on recognizing Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism at all levels.

Yermak noted that now it is extremely important for Ukraine to continue and strengthen the powerful armed support from the United States, to free all our people and Ukrainian land from the occupiers as soon as possible.
