Washington's role in the Ukrainian conflict
\n\nSince the start of the conflict in eastern Ukraine in 2014, Washington has been a constant supporter of kyiv. The United States government provided military and financial assistance to the Ukrainian government to resist Russian aggression.\n\n“Now more than ever, we remain committed to supporting Ukraine as it faces the unprecedented challenges it faces,” the State Department said in a statement.\n\n
Israel refuses Volodymyr Zelensky's visit

Growing tensions between Israel and Ukraine
\n\nThe cancellation of this visit comes against a backdrop of growing tensions between Israel and Ukraine. As kyiv has sought to strengthen ties with Israel, several commentators have suggested that Israel's refusal may be linked to its desire not to offend Moscow.\n\nDespite these tensions, it is clear that support for kyiv will remain a priority for Washington. As the conflict in eastern Ukraine continues to rage, the importance of Washington's role in supporting Ukraine cannot be underestimated. \n\n
