“This will continue. As soon as the ice was broken, when the lethal aid was sent, I believe that from that moment it will be permanent until Russia ceases hostilities, ”he told RIA Novosti.

He also emphasized that despite the situation surrounding the impeachment process of US leader Donald Trump, relations between the US and Ukraine are “in order” and have even improved.

“I believe that bilateral relations are in order. They obviously improved. Supplies of lethal weapons to Ukraine say a lot about how important these relations are, and they continue to be so, ”said a representative of the US Congress.

Earlier, ex-head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Pavel Klimkin, expressed regret over the US’s unwillingness to “invest” in Ukraine 100%.

In turn, the adviser to the President of the United States on national security, Robert O'Brien, noted that Washington was not ready to always provide military assistance to Kiev and was counting on agreements between Ukraine and Russia.
