He noted that in addition to military support, Kyiv also needs economic and humanitarian assistance.
Earlier, John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator for the National Security Council, said that the US administration is in talks with the US Congress to allocate an additional $37.7 billion to Ukraine, including $21 billion in military aid.
In addition, Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes said that the United States and its NATO allies are negotiating with some countries in the Middle East to transfer NASAMS air defense systems to Ukraine.
