U.S. President Joe Biden held a meeting with the foreign and defense ministers of Ukraine to discuss recent developments in Ukraine, increasing pressure on Russia and holding Putin accountable for war crimes.

The White House said this in a statement following Biden's meeting with the Ukrainian ministers in Warsaw on Saturday, Ukrinform reports.

"The President updated the Ministers on U.S. efforts to rally the world in support of Ukraine's fight against Russian aggression, including through the President's meetings this week in Belgium, and the significant military and humanitarian assistance the United States is providing to Ukraine," the statement said.

The parties discussed "further efforts to help Ukraine defend its territory" and "the United States' ongoing actions to hold President Putin accountable for Russia's brutal aggression, in coordination with our allies and partners, including through the new sanctions actions announced by the President in Brussels on March 24."

On March 26, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov met with their U.S. counterparts Antony Blinken and Lloyd Austin in the 2+2 format in Warsaw.

Biden joined the talks. It was his first face-to-face meeting with high-ranking Ukrainian officials since Russia launched an all-out invasion of Ukraine on February 24.
