White House’s Sullivan visits Kyiv, says ‘unwavering’ support to continue

U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said during a visit to Kyiv on Friday that the United States’ support for Ukraine would remain “unwavering and
unflinching” following next Tuesday’s midterm congressional elections.
“We fully intend to ensure that the resources are there as necessary and that we’ll get votes from both sides of the aisle to make that happen,” Sullivan told reporters during a briefing at the Ukrainian presidential administration.
Some Republicans have called for U.S. aid to Kyiv to be scaled back if they win control of the U.S. Congress in the Nov. 8 vote. Last month, top House Republican Kevin McCarthy said Americans should not “write a blank check” for Ukraine.
But Sullivan, who met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and his chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, said President Joe Biden was committed to bipartisan cooperation “under any scenario” to keep economic, humanitarian and security aid flowing.
