President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that today's negotiations with his American counterpart Joe Biden were "fruitful" and "very crucial."

"We hope this year 2023 will become a year of victory," Sky News quotes Zelenskyy.

He also said that he will continue to do everything possible to make sure the democratic world "wins in this historic fight."

According to him, Ukraine is facing a very difficult period, he explains, but it will make "historic achievements" with the help of the US and the rest of the world.

"Negotiations today were very fruitful, very important and very crucial," he says, adding that the results will "definitely" have an impact on the battlefield.

The rebuilding and recovery of justice is also important... and the aggressor has to take responsibility for the aggression and reimburse the damage," Zelenskyy said, before thanking the US for its support in ensuring this.

As reported, US President Joe Biden, during his visit to Kyiv, announced a new package of US military assistance and additional sanctions against Russia for its aggression.
