Quote: "Based on our consultations on Capitol Hill, we believe that there continues to be strong bipartisan support in both chambers for continued funding."

Details: Sullivan also believes that both Republicans and Democrats recognise that the United States cannot withdraw support at such a critical time. Therefore, the administration remains confident that, despite the complexity of the legislative procedures, the United States will ultimately be able to continue supporting Ukraine and continue to lead the coalition of countries.

Background:

  • On 7 September, the Pentagon announced a new military assistance package for Ukraine, which includes equipment to support and strengthen Ukraine's air defence systems.
