Ukraine expects that the aid package from the United States of America will contain all the necessary means to protect civilians and continue the fight against the aggressor state of the Russian Federation. This was said by the Head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak on the United News telethon.

U.S. President Joseph Biden assured the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a telephone conversation two days ago that he would sign the bill as soon as the Senate votes on it. Andriy Yermak expressed hope that the signing will take place today.

The Head of the Presidential Office noted that this decision is a result of the six months' work of the President of Ukraine and the teams of the Office, the Government, and the Parliament. The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and the Minister of Defence also maintained a constant dialogue with partners. They provided information about the needs of the warriors at the frontline.

"The level of cooperation between the military and political leaders of our countries today gives us a strong belief that this large package will include all the positions we have been discussing for a long time," Andriy Yermak said.

He also added that negotiations about strengthening the protection of the skies with partners, including Spain and Greece, are held every day.

"I can tell you for sure: new Patriots will come. And, frankly, it is not so important to us where they come from. The main thing is that they come and come as soon as possible because this is the protection of our cities and our people. We are also aware of Chancellor Scholz's position. And all of them know the number of Patriots we need. Therefore, I am confident that we will soon have good news," the Head of the Presidential Office said.
