Ukrainian officials including President Volodymyr Zelensky are regularly meeting with Western leaders to try to stave off conflict fatigue.
The war is now in its 21st month and Ukraine is struggling to gain ground in its counteroffensive, AFP reports.
“I am grateful to our partners for their support of Ukraine. Together we are strong,” Yermak said.
