Blinken made the remarks during a press conference on Friday in New York, coinciding with the UN General Assembly meetings and discussions between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. leadership.

In response to inquiries regarding Ukraine's potential use of Western weaponry to conduct strikes deep within Russian territory, Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that the United States and its allies are thoroughly examining the details of the Victory Plan. He added that they are prepared to consider "additional actions" if necessary to achieve the desired outcomes.

“And we are studying it [Victory Plan] very carefully, and that includes what, if any, additional things we or other partners of Ukraine would be called on to do in order to help them achieve that success. But the President has been very clear that he’s committed to Ukraine’s success,” the U.S. Secretary of State emphasized.

Additionally, Blinken reaffirmed the United States' commitment to supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression by announcing a new military aid package valued at over $8 billion. He emphasized that these funds will sustain Ukraine's efforts until the conclusion of the current administration's term.

“We took important steps to support the people of Ukraine as they continue to defend themselves against the ongoing Russian aggression and continue to stand up for their sovereignty and their independence, their right to write their own future,” he said, emphasizing that the funds should be sufficient until the end of the current administration's term.

  • On the evening of Friday, September 27, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy summarized the results of his working visit to the United States.
