JAKARTA - The President of Ukraine appreciated the attention and assistance of the United States, when the leader of the United States came to visit the country suddenly ahead of a year of the Russian invasion.

Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky said a meeting between his administration and US President Joe Biden's delegation on a visit to Kyiv was a major boost to his country.

"This talk brings us closer to winning," President Zelensky said during a statement with President Biden after Monday's meeting.

"The results of this visit will definitely be visible, and will definitely have an impact on the battlefield in freeing our territory," President Zelensky assured.

Furthermore, the Ukrainian leader also called President Biden's surprise visit the most important of "the history of Ukraine-US relations."

"The Ukrainian people remember the focus, attention and attitude that President Biden and the US have given to Ukraine," President Zelensky said.

"I thank you for this level of US-Ukraine cooperation," he continued.

President Zelensky said he had discussed the supply of more sophisticated Western weapons to Ukraine, citing a recent US decision to send Abrams tanks to the country as another important moment.

"The US decision on Abrams' tank has provided a basis for building a coalition of tanks and is very important in history," he praised.

"We have also talked about long-range weapons and weapons that may still be supplied to Ukraine, although it has never been supplied before," President Zelensky said.
