Lieutenant General, Acting National Security Advisor to the President of the United States Joseph Keith Kellogg was impressed by the spirit of the citizens of Kharkiv during his visit.

‘The General was surprised that such a Kharkiv know-how exists today, that it has been implemented. He was impressed that despite the ongoing war, we have already reconstructed 66 buildings and will continue to do so. We toured the building sites under construction. He was impressed by the Kharkiv spirit. He promised to support Ukraine and especially the City of Kharkiv in every way possible,’ said Ihor Terekhov.

He also said that during the talks he drew the delegation’s attention to the very short distance to the border with Russia. ‘It is natural that Kharkiv needs the most advanced weapons and modern air defense systems,’ the Mayor emphasized.
