The document envisages increased support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as the expansion of military assistance and the granting of the major U.S. military and political ally status to the country. The bill also expands the list of weapons that can be transferred to Ukraine.

However, the Ukrainian presidential administration has not specified the details of the upcoming meeting.
