Yesterday, July 23, during a visit to Ukraine, a bipartisan delegation of the US Congress together with the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs inspected the places where the Russian army committed acts of military aggression and war crimes against Ukraine and its citizens.

The group of American officials was led by Adam Smith, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. Delegates visited Irpin, Bucha and Gostomel - these are the cities of Kiev region that have suffered more or less destruction.

On the eve of their arrival, the United States announced another package of military aid worth $270 million. It provides for the transfer of new HIMARS systems to Ukraine, to counter the Russian invasion. This is an extremely important help not only for the Armed Forces, but also for the military formations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs system, which today hold the defense in the hottest points of the country. Equally important is the support provided by the states to accelerate the demining of Ukrainian territories. Today, almost half of the territory of our country needs humanitarian demining.

“We are pleased to welcome one of the most senior American delegations. Today we showed them the level of brutality of the war crimes committed by the occupiers here. We made it clear how important is the role of the Armed Forces, military formations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the whole Ukrainian people,” said First Deputy Minister Yevhenii Yenin.

For his part, the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, Mr. Adam Smith, assured that the United States will be with Ukraine to the end in defending its democratic values and sovereignty. America has been providing military and humanitarian aid for a long time and is doing so as quickly as possible. As the official noted, the timing of receipt of such assistance is not even a matter of months, but of days.
