"To protect against this, we must further strengthen our cooperation. Together we can overcome Russian terror. Russia must be recognized as a terrorist state," Zelenskyy said. The White House welcomed Ukraine's lightning advances made over the weekend and said the U.S. would continue to provide Kyiv with additional military aid packages.
"We're going to continue to support their need to succeed on the battlefield that has been our goal as you all know," she said, adding that the U.S. has so far committed $14.5 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the start of Russia's war in late February.
