During the trip, the politician was accompanied by her wife Marina, the report said on the official website President of Ukraine.

Poroshenko thanked Ukrainians in the United States for their support and unity in implementing “the tasks facing the Ukrainian state.”

In particular, he recalled the creation of a new army of Ukraine, in which the Ukrainian diaspora helped a lot. He also noted the steps that Congress has taken to help Ukraine, including the decision to provide defensive weapons.

“This is not just a position that allows us to significantly increase the price that the Russian aggressor will pay if he switches to offensive actions, but it also opens up the possibility of providing us with similar assistance from Great Britain, Canada, and other countries,” Poroshenko said.

He emphasized that in defensive weapons we are not just talking about Jewellin missiles.

“We are talking about an electronic warfare system that presents the world with irrefutable evidence of Russia’s crimes - where they open fire to kill our citizens, where, when, and what caliber they brought in the heavy weapons prohibited by the Minsk agreements. This is evidence that will allow us to formulate a legal position when Russia’s crimes are considered in the international court in The Hague,” said the head of the Ukrainian state.

The President also met with representatives of the Crimean Tatars and noted the importance of supporting the Crimean Tatar people.

“We must jointly, all together, demonstrate that the problem of the Crimean Tatar people is our common problem. We are united and in solidarity. And we are not going to put up with what the aggressor and occupier are doing,” Poroshenko emphasized.

The head of state recalled the 85 anniversary of the Holodomor anniversary and the importance of recognizing it as genocide.

“We are not just now defending Ukraine and the Ukrainians who gave their lives for our independence, but we remember our history and preserve our memory,” Petro Poroshenko emphasized.

The President of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, Andrei Futey, noted that the Ukrainians present at the meeting are making a lot of efforts to help their homeland and protect the rights and freedoms of Ukrainians, regardless of where they live.

According to him, the Ukrainian diaspora will continue to make efforts to convince the US government to provide lethal weapons and more funding for defense, energy, humanitarian aid and support for reforming Ukraine.
