Brink, Danilov discuss Ukraine's fight for freedom

U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink and Secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov have discussed Ukraine's struggle for freedom in its war with Russia.

The ambassador said this on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.

"Good to meet Oleksiy Danilov on the 100th day of Russia's brutal war to discuss Ukraine's heroic fight for freedom. I look forward to working with him on our shared goals – helping Ukraine defend itself and deterring further Russian aggression," Brink said.

Brink on June 2 presented her credentials to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. On May 29, she arrived in Kyiv to begin her tenure as head of the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine.

Brink earlier served as U.S. ambassador to Slovakia. As Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine started, Brink visited the Slovak-Ukrainian border to monitor the admission of Ukrainian refugees and the provision of humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
