In the next two weeks, the US plans to announce another package of military aid for Ukraine, approximately the same size as the last allocations.
As reported by Voice of America, national security adviser Jake Sullivan said this in a press conference, answering whether the pace and volume of support to Ukraine will somehow change.
"We've been steadily providing security assistance. You saw the package we just announced. There will be another one in the next two weeks on roughly the same schedule and roughly the same scale as we've been doing for the last few weeks and months. So there's no let-up of our support or deviation from the frequency and intensity of that support. We are also consulting with Congress on additional resources as we look ahead to next year," Sullivan said.
Sullivan also said that he did not think it was right to ask questions about whether military operations would be conducted in the winter.
"I think there is a bit of a binary approach to the issue of winter advancing — whether there will be fighting or not. And I think that approach is wrong. It is more about the decisions the Ukrainians will have to make about the speed and pace of operations, not about whether they will lead them or not," he said.
