The United States and France reaffirm their unwavering support for the defense of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, including providing Kyiv with political, security, humanitarian, and economic assistance for as long as it needs.
This includes the provision of significant resources to support the resilience of the Ukrainian civilian population during the winter, including reinforced supplies of air defense systems and equipment needed to repair Ukraine’s energy grid, – the statement reads.
The United States and France plan to continue working with partners and allies to coordinate assistance efforts, including at an international conference in Paris on December 13, 2022.
