Opening the Conciliation Board on Monday Andrii Parubii, the Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has informed on the results of the recent working visit to the USA.
According to
A.Parubii, the Washington visit gave a good chance to meet with a wide range of
high ranking defence officers from the United States National Security Council,
the U.S. Department of Defense, the core congressmen and senators. The
politician stressed that ‘in the course of every meeting the Ukrainian
delegation has been raising the three major problems – strengthening of the
sanctions against Russia, granting Ukraine a Major Non-NATO Ally status, and
the lethal weapons’. The key visit’s sitting was the one with Paul Ryan,
Speaker of the United States House of Representatives which gave
us the Memorandum on cooperation between the parliaments. The deed is
aimed at a strategic partnership and enhancing of the bilateral collaboration
between the parliaments in the political, economic, security, humanitarian, and
cultural spheres.
‘It is important the Memorandum calls Ukraine to be the outpost for defence of the West from the Russian aggression. I am sure the document signed will lift our partnership up to a new level of inter-parliamentary and international collaboration,’ denoted Andrii Parubii.
