According to journalists, the visit of the American politician took place unexpectedly. During the trip, Pence visited Irpin and Bucha and also met with President Volodymyr Zelensky.
On June 29, Republican Senator and 48th Vice President Michael Pence arrived in Ukraine for a visit. The Senator visited cities in the Kiev region and met with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. Details of the incident were reported by Reuters.
The agency claims that the visit was unexpected. However, the senator reached Kiev and visited Irpin, Bucha and Moshchun. Photographs taken at the scene show the politician putting flowers at the memorial for Ukrainians who lost their lives.
The senator met with President Zelensky after visiting cities in the Kiev region. The Ukrainian leader released a short video of his meeting with a Republican senator. The President reaffirmed the importance of bipartisan support in the US Congress and thanked him for the assistance. Special thanks go to the incumbent US President – Democrat – Joe Biden.
Zelensky briefly described the issues he had discussed with Senator Pence. They particularly touched upon the issues of defense, security and Ukraine’s accession to NATO.
In response, Michael Pence said he believes in “brave warriors who reject Russian aggression”. The politician is confident that “freedom has won in Ukraine.”
The agency states that Michael Pence is the first US presidential candidate to visit Ukraine. At the same time, he is the closest rival of party member Donald Trump. However, it is worth noting that Reuters is 30 points behind.
The senator’s views on Putin and Russia’s war against Ukraine differ from Trump’s. He clarified his stance in the discussion that took place on 7 June. Then Senator Pence calls the Kremlin president a war criminal, while Trump sees the Russians as a “genius”.
We remind you that the United States sends new military support packages to Ukraine every month. The final package, announced on June 27, includes air defense missiles, mine clearance equipment and other equipment with a total value of $500 million.
In addition, American politicians hint that the Armed Forces of Ukraine can acquire ATACMS missiles. At the same time, the WSJ edition suggests that the change in the rhetoric of the authorities is due to Prigogine’s recently staged riot.
