Chaly added that, apart from strong economy and diplomacy, Ukraine needs a powerful army, in order to succeed in countering Putin’s Russia.
Chairman McCain assured Ambassador Chaly that he remains one of the biggest friends of Ukraine and that he will spare no further effort to ensure Ukraine receives the US defensive weapons to protect herself against Russian aggression.
