About the war progress and the critical need for weapons: Zelenskyy held talks with the Speaker of the House of Representatives Johnson

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Mike Johnson had a phone conversation on March 28. The Head of State spoke about the situation on the battlefield and emphasized that the prompt adoption of aid for Ukraine by the Congress was critically important.

Zelenskyy announced this on his official Telegram channel. "I had a phone conversation with Speaker of the House of Representatives Johnson. I thanked him personally, both parties, the American people, and President Biden for their vital support for Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian invasion," the post reads.

The President added that he had informed his interlocutor about the situation on the battlefield, in particular about the rapid intensification of Russian air terror.

Last week alone, Ukrainian cities and communities were hit by 190 missiles, 140 Shaheds, and 700 aircraft bombs. Ukraine's largest hydroelectric power plant is out of commission, Zelenskyy said.

"In this situation, the rapid adoption of aid for Ukraine by the Congress is critically important. We realize that there are different positions in the House of Representatives on how to do this, but the main thing is that the issue of assistance to Ukraine remains a factor of unification," the head of state said.

According to Zelenskyy, the parties also discussed the need to cut off the sources from which Russia finances its war as soon as possible and to use the frozen assets of the Russian Federation for the benefit of Ukraine.

"In this, we also count on the leadership of the Congress," the President of Ukraine said.
