Media: Sullivan has promised Ukraine hundreds of thousands of shells and thousands of rockets by mid-January
The White House has developed a strategy to strengthen Ukraine's military position, which provides for "lavic-like" military assistance and the introduction of new large-scale sanctions against Russia.
National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan on Thursday for over an hour met with the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak.
As noted, during the meeting, Sullivan promised to provide Ukraine with hundreds of thousands of additional artillery shells, thousands of rockets and hundreds of armored vehicles by mid-January.
The United States also promises to support Ukraine in resolving the personnel problem by offering to train new troops at facilities outside Ukrainian territory.
In addition, in the coming weeks, the United States will introduce a number of new sanctions against Russia.
All this is being done in order to complicate Russia's ability to support hostilities and strengthen Ukraine's position at the negotiating table, which could lay the groundwork for a future settlement, the newspaper said.
Last week, it became known that incumbent US President Joe Biden had asked Congress allocate another $ 24 billion to military aid to Ukraine and replenish the stockpiles of American weapons, which were transferred to Kyiv.
At the same time, the Biden administration is currently using the balance of congressional funds to hand over military aid to Ukraine.
Secretary of State Anthony Blinken assured NATO and the Ukrainian side of readiness make full use of funding for Ukraine, authorized by Congress.
However, House Speaker Mike Johnson recently said that will not put to the vote a request from the Biden administration with an additional $ 24 billion to help Ukraine.
