Russia will win if Western countries refuse to finance Kyiv. This was stated in an interview with the Spanish newspaper El País by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmitry Kuleba.
The head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry insists that Western support for Kyiv is “support for democracy, and is trying to revive in the allies the sense of urgency that persisted in the first year” of the conflict, the newspaper writes.
“Ukraine must be a matter of unity, not division… Ukraine must win this war. Russia must lose. And all political thought should be focused on achieving this goal… If someone decides to suspend or refuse support now due to lack of resources, Russia will be able to succeed on the battlefield and break through the front line,” Kuleba said.
As reported EADailyJanuary 4, head of the press service of the US State Department Matthew Miller stated that Washington will continue to help Kyiv, but the support will not be the same as in 2022-2023.
Prior to this, on January 3, Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the White House National Security Council John Kirby said that the US aid package sent to Kyiv on December 27 will be the last until additional funds are allocated by Congress.
On December 27, Washington decided to provide Ukraine with a new aid package worth up to $250 million, as announced by the Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. The final package in 2023 will include weapons and equipment, he added. On the same day it was reported that the American President Joe Biden changed his position on further assistance to Ukraine and reminded his Ukrainian colleague Vladimir Zelenskythat the supply of American weapons will not be endless.
