Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said he expected “significant results” from his wife’s meetings in Washington.

Olena was tasked with increasing U.S. support for Ukraine to “protect people from Russian terror”.

The First Lady also unveiled a humanitarian effort for children who have lost their limbs during the war. The scheme allows the children to travel to the U.S. for urgent emergency treatment.

Meanwhile, it’s understood the meeting also discussed mental health concerns for mothers and children who have suffered from the atrocities.

Russia maintains the war is a special military operation to protect its own security.
