US will do everything possible to help Ukraine liberate its territories including Kherson - Sullivan

Jake Sullivan stated this at a joint briefing with the head of the Ukraine’s Presidential Office, Andrii Yermak.

“We heard the reports of the commanders regarding Kherson direction. And it is not for me to characterize the situation on the battlefield. However, we must provide Ukraine with everything necessary for these operations to continue,” he said.

The US National Security Advisor emphasized that during his visit to Ukraine, he discussed with the Ukrainian authorities what was needed for offensive operations.

“We discussed how we can support given the challenges that have been identified. And we will do everything we can to help,” Sullivan added.

He assured that regardless of the results of the mid-term elections on November 8, military and financial support for Ukraine will remain "unwavering and unflinching".

• On November 4, the US announced a new USD 400 million aid package for Ukraine. The United States and the Netherlands will jointly pay for the refurbishment of 90 T-72 tanks stored in the Czech Republic. Part of them will be transferred to Ukraine by the end of this year, the rest - during the next year. In addition, the US will send 40 armored boats, 1,100 Phoenix Ghost drones, and will allocate funds for the modernization of 250 M1117 armored security vehicles.
