Ukrainian Ambassador to the US Oksana Markarova said Sunday the recent visit by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Kyiv was “symbolic” and that Ukraine looks forward to the approval by the US Congress of a $33 billion supplemental funding bill aimed at supporting Ukraine over the next several months.

“We need all the assistance we can get in defensive weapons, in military support, in financial support but also in humanitarian support,” Markarova said in an interview with ABC’s “This Week.” “We look forward to Congress approving it” and “we count on the US in this,” she said.

Markarova reiterated Kyiv’s position that “for us there is no question Ukraine will win” the war with Russia, adding “the question is how many brave Ukrainians we will lose.”

On Saturday, Pelosi led the first official US congressional delegation to Ukraine since Russia’s invasion began.
