Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba spoke with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken about unblocking US aid for Ukraine, thanking the US for recent military assistance and emphasizing the need for continued support including air defense and artillery.

Kuleba thanked Blinken for the latest aid package and stressed the need to ensure continued military assistance from the United States and other allies, including ammunition for air defence and artillery.

They discussed the approval of additional funding to support Ukraine.

They talked about the expected outcome of the upcoming NATO summit in Washington this summer.

Kuleba emphasized the need and urgency of continued U.S. and international support for Ukraine, including air defense and artillery ammunition.

Kuleba said they cannot allow Russia to use delays in aid to advance, putting all of Europe and the democratic world at risk of an even larger war.

Kuleba said Ukraine has demonstrated that with sufficient support, they can defeat Russia on the battlefield.

Failure to continue supporting Ukraine would severely undermine U.S. leadership worldwide and jeopardize American national security.

They discussed anticipated outcomes of the NATO Washington summit later this year.

Kuleba held a telephone call with Blinken to discuss unblocking Ukraine aid stalled in Congress
