The White House official also said it is very important that Congress continues to approve the allocation of money to Ukraine. He stressed that Kiev needs help more urgently during the winter period.
Media reported that aid to Ukraine has decreased following the failure of its counter-offensive against Russian troops.
It also adds political divisions in the U.S., since some sector is in favor of continuing to support the European country, while others disagree with that measure.
