The press release issued by the President of Ukraine on 9 August 2022.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a meeting with the 42nd President of the United States of America Bill Clinton in the format of a video conference.

The Head of State thanked for the comprehensive support from the US at various levels, as well as for the personal support of Ukraine from Bill Clinton and his wife, in particular for the participation in the Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen.

“The United States helps us prevent Russia from freezing this conflict. And this is exactly what Russia wants. We are well aware of what happens with “frozen conflicts”. It stretches for years, for decades. We cannot allow that,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

The Head of State emphasized the importance of further enhancing sanctions on Russia. He called on Bill Clinton to use his personal authority to draw the attention of the world community to the shelling and mining of the Zaporizhzhia NPP and Russia’s nuclear terror.

“It is extremely important for us that societies where freedom and democracy are fundamental values do not lose the feeling of urgency of the war in Ukraine. That is why conversations like this one are very useful for us,” said the President of Ukraine.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke about the defense needs of our country. The interlocutors also discussed participation in future international events.
