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.

Since the war beginning in February 2022, the Biden government has sent more than $75 billion in cash and equipment to the country for defense. 

Most of the aid has gone to Ukraine’s military operations, to keep its government functioning and to meet its humanitarian needs.
