Yermak met with Trump's special representative, Keith Kellogg – details to follow.

Ermak shared this in his Telegram.

“Today, I was pleased to welcome the U.S. President's Special Representative for Ukraine and Russia, Kurt Kellogg, in Kyiv. This was his first meeting during the visit, and I am grateful that he came to Ukraine during this challenging time – we appreciate it,” he stated.

Ermak hinted that Kurt Kellogg would be shown firsthand what is happening in the country and on the front lines:

“It is important for us that Kurt Kellogg receives comprehensive information about the situation at the front, the resilience and spirit of our nation, which remain steadfast throughout these years. We want him to see this with his own eyes and get all the details. Briefings from military command and local commanders about the battlefield situation will be significant.”

The head of the Office hopes that as a result of Kellogg's visit, Ukraine will continue to receive American assistance, and relations between the countries “will remain open, characterized by trust and principles of mutual success.”

Additionally, Ermak urged Kellogg to distance himself from Russian propaganda.

“Russia always manipulates information, tries to sow discord, lies to pit us against one another. The principle of nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine is key. We are interested in the U.S. standing on the side of truth and justice, and that is with us,” he emphasized.

Ermak reiterated that Ukraine seeks a strategic, long-term, and comprehensive partnership with the U.S. – it needs security guarantees, defense and economic partnership, and a just peace.
