Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has received Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services Carl Levin.

"Senator Levin assured that the United States will continue to provide comprehensive support to Ukraine in its resistance to the aggression both at the bilateral level and in the frames of international organizations," the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said in a statement released on Tuesday.

Klimkin briefed Levin about the recent developments in Donbas and thanked the United States for the consistent support of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine.

The parties agreed about the importance of increasing pressure on the Russian Federation in close coordination with European partners.
