“The Ukrainian delegation had the opportunity to convey to the American side all the proposals that we prepared in Kiev,” Svyrydenko was quoted as saying.
She said that some agreements were reached during the consultations and expressed hope for continued dialogue with Washington on the matter. “This is not the final round,” she said.
A technical delegation from Ukraine arrived in the United States last week for the consultation, the Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported.
On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked parliament to extend the current martial law for an additional 90 days. The bill to prolong the martial law, which is due to expire on May 9, has been submitted for consideration.
Meanwhile, Zelensky also requested for approval of the extension of the general military mobilization for the duration of the martial law, if extended.
The Ukrainian parliament first imposed martial law and declared mobilization in February 2022 in the wake of the military conflict with Russia.
