Kirby emphasized that Ukrainian commanders are already having to make difficult decisions about what weapons and ammunition to use in the face of dwindling supplies.

At the same time, Russia continues to receive assistance from Iran and North Korea, including ballistic missiles. In addition, the Russians have established their own production of drones and other weapons systems.

In this context, Kirby noted that the US administration is committed to Ukraine's victory. He recalled how US President Joe Biden clearly stated that Ukraine should become a prosperous and sovereign country with restored borders and sovereignty.

We want to be able to continue to provide Ukraine with the support it needs to achieve these results
