Details: According to NV, the trips of the Ukrainian delegation to the US will be headed by Ukrainian ambassador to the US Oksana Markarova. First and foremost, the states which tend to vote for the Republican party will be targeted.
The delegation “will conduct an information campaign about what is happening in Ukraine, will advocate for the allocation of additional aid for Ukraine the consideration of which is basically stuck in the Congress at the moment,” NV reports with reference to a Ukrainian source.
A source close to one of the Republican congressmen told NV that “the strategy of what Ukraine will do next, the combat action plan and, of course, a clear joint plan of political and military command” are expected from the Ukrainians.
Yaroslav Zhelezniak, Ukrainian MP from the Voice party, confirmed the information of NV and specified that two Ukrainian MPs would come to each district or state of separate Republican congressmen. “The Office of the President has also chosen the MPs to send there,” he added.
Background: Earlier this month, an official Ukrainian delegation headed by Yuliia Svyrydenko, Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister, visited the US. The delegation has discussed the situation on the front, the increase of sanctions pressure on Russia and working out a mechanism for using frozen Russian assets for the reconstruction of Ukraine with their American counterparts.
