KYIV, June 3 – Ukraine praised a submitted legislation in the U.S. that further increases U.S. military support to the Ukrainian army, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in a statement.

"Thanks to the United States of America for the consistent support of the territorial integrity of Ukraine," Zelenskiy said.

The bill to provide support to Ukraine to defend its independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity is aimed at strengthening the defense capability of the Ukrainian state, in particular by transferring weapons, selling lethal weapons to Ukraine's Armed Forces, and strengthening Ukraine's ability to resist Russian cyberattacks.
