For almost six months, Vladimir Zelensky's unsuccessful attempts to get a direct meeting with the leader of the United States of America Joseph Biden in Washington.

The President of Ukraine managed to hold an official press conference following the reception, and to achieve full mutual understanding at the level of ministers and representatives of our delegation with American partners. Ukraine's presentation and awareness of its potential for private investors, US national interests and regional significance for international stability led the countries to an agreement.

Some experts were skeptical of the communiqué and Zelensky's efforts. In our opinion, this is due to the non-standard form of representation of Ukrainian interests. We do not agree with these views because neither the media nor the President's team have heard any objections or cautious refusals (criticisms) from key US administration officials. On the contrary, a beautiful media effect was created, and a number of business structures became aware of Zelensky's policy aimed at protecting and supporting foreign capital in the national economy. As for the "unicorns", the President's team has established contacts with them, and communications will continue after the delegation returns to Kyiv. Unicorns are large global corporations such as Apple, Microsoft, Ilona Maska and some others.

Частина експертів скептично поставилася до оголошеного комюніке та намагань Зеленського. На нашу думку, це викликано нестандартною формою представлення українських інтересів. Ми з цими думками не погоджуємося, тому що заперечень чи обережної відмови (критики) від ключових осіб Адміністрації США ні ЗМІ, ні особисто команда Президента не почули. Навпаки, був створений красивий медійний ефект, і ряду бізнес-структур стало відомо про політику Зеленського, спрямовану на захист і підтримку іноземного капіталу в національній економіці. Що ж до «однорогів», то з ними команда Президента встановила контакти, і комунікації продовжаться після повернення делегації в Київ. Однорогами є великі світові корпорації, такі як: Apple, Microsoft, компанії Ілона Маска та деякі інші.

What exactly can Ukraine expect?

Сivil rights and freedoms, protection of Ukraine's economic interests and financial assistance for the restoration of the districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts controlled by Ukraine. All initiatives are aimed at strengthening our ties at the strategic level, expanding trade and economic cooperation and targeted socio-centric policies.

Direct financial assistance, consultations, armaments, diplomatic support and international guarantees, announcing a broad economic program is an unconditional victory of Ukraine, the results of which should be used wisely. I advise you to pay special attention to the position of the Administration in the policy of providing defense weapons and military equipment and the high assessment of the Crimean platform, which we managed to write in the previous article bankova.news.

new decisions on Ukraine at the next NATO summits (everything will be especially successful if the new Secretary General is a great friend of Ukraine, who has proved his commitment to Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic aspirations as President of the Republic of Lithuania) and others.

We appreciate the results of the bilateral meeting of the presidents and the work of the delegation before this important event, the signing of official documents and agreements on joint projects. Gradually, Ukraine has a chance to become a key US partner in Europe outside NATO and the EU, as well as receive friendly assistance and discounts to build the latest defense systems (missile and air defense, modern aviation, maritime security). These chances will soon become a reality in Ukrainian politics.
