Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's chief of staff Andriy Yermak and Ukrainian Defence Minister Rustem Umerov briefed US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on the "battlefield situation" in Ukraine during a meeting at the Pentagon today, according to a statement from Zelenskyy's office.

  • The meeting comes as Zelenskyy escalates calls for Washington to relax restrictions on US-supplied weapons to allow Ukraine greater scope to strike targets within Russia, seen by Kyiv as critical to defending against a sustained missile barrage from Russia.
  • Austin told Rustem, per a Pentagon readout: "Alongside some 50 of our allies and partners, the United States will continue to provide the critical capabilities that you need to fight the Kremlin's aggression."
  • Austin notes that he will travel to Ramstein Air Base in Germany next week to convene the Ukraine Defense Contact Group for the 24th time.
