Vladimir Zelensky held a press conference with his American counterpart Joe Biden. Before this, the presidents signed a bilateral security agreement between Ukraine and the United States.
The United States of America will not send troops to Ukraine, but will help provide weapons and economic support. US President Joe Biden announced this on Thursday, June 13, at a joint press conference for the media with Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky.
Biden stressed that the US goal is to strengthen the defense and deterrence capabilities of Ukraine for the long term. He emphasized that any lasting peace for Ukraine must be based on its ability to defend itself now and deter future enemy aggression.
