we are united and will help Ukraine until it wins

US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield, who made an unannounced one-day visit to Kyiv, said US support for Kyiv is unwavering and will continue until Ukraine wins this war.

“We’ve been united from day one and we haven’t seen any cracks in that unity,” Thomas-Greenfield told CNN during her trip to the Ukrainian capital. “Europe is united. NATO is united. In the US, both parties support Ukraine.”

“Our support is unwavering and we will be united until Ukraine wins this war and Russia withdraws its troops from Ukraine,” she told CNN.

Asked whether Washington had indeed urged the Ukrainian authorities to show willingness to negotiate with Russia, the U.S. ambassador to the UN said the U.S. position was clear: “No talks without Ukraine at the helm. No talks about Ukraine without Ukraine.” “.

“Any negotiations must be with Ukraine at the helm. They (the Ukrainian authorities) must determine when they are ready for these negotiations – with the support of the international community and in accordance with the (UN) charter that Russia has violated.”

As Ukrainian grain exports continue to struggle and remain a major problem, Linda Thomas-Greenfield also visited an unnamed flour mill for security reasons.

“We heard that Ukraine is the breadbasket of the world. And here I see Ukraine as the breadbasket of the world, I see how wheat is delivered, processed, turned into flour, I hear directly from farmers that they need this grain deal, which the Secretary General is negotiating so active,” she said.

“It shows how important this grain is, but also how this unjust war unleashed by Russia is affecting global markets,” said Linda Thomas-Greenfield.
