One important issue still remains: When will the US stop providing military assistance and financial support to Ukraine? John Kirby, the spokesperson for Biden National Security, has said that he is “doesn’t know” of the potential response.
When the help programs for poor People will end, Shannon Bream, the presenter of “Fox News Sunday,” questioned Secretary Pompeo. Since it was televised, his remark has sparked a lot of discussion among political commentators and significant brain scratching.

“Despite the question that’s being asked increasingly on Capitol Hill, and there’s gonna be another fight over another round of aid, we’re about $200 billion into this so far. There are questions about where the US commitment ends to this. I mean, we had a couple of lawmakers just return and say they, Congressman Garamendi was one of them, who said, ‘I think this is a year from now, I’m going to be still going on this exact same war.’”
In response, Kirby remarked “We don’t know. Again, we would like to see it in now. And certainly we want to see it on ends and on terms that are satisfactory to the Ukrainian people and to President Solinsky, so that they remain a whole free sovereign, independent state. And independence is an ideal that all Americans can get behind and understand. We’d like it to end soon as soon as possible. My goodness, nobody wants to be sitting here a year from now talking about the second anniversary of war. But as the President has said, Shannon, we’re going to support Ukraine for as long as it takes and he means that as long as it takes”
Observe that here:
Recent indications from Secretary of State Kirby indicate that Russia may soon launch an attack, and the urgency is further emphasized by his lack of commitment to provide the required assistance. “If we don’t act immediately, it will be too late,” he recently said. His statements serve as a powerful reminder of the need of taking decisive action to maintain our security against Russian aggression.
“We do expect that when the weather improves, the Russians will try to make additional offensive moves anywhere along that front,” he said, noting that the US is trying to help the Ukrainians prepare for that. We’re working in lock step with the Ukrainians almost every day. And we communicate constantly with Ukraine about their needs for the fight.”
One issue remains unanswered in light of the US and NATO’s growing participation in a war that may one day threaten World War II: Is continuing to support a Russian foe worth the risks?
President Biden will not be traveling to Ukraine on his planned trip to Poland, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.” He emphasized the need of maintaining positive ties with Ukraine, saying that it is crucial for the United States to have allies in Europe and the rest of the globe.
“We obviously are maintaining a high degree of solidarity with the Ukrainian people. The United States leads the world in terms of contributions, whether it’s humanitarian assistance or military weapons to Ukraine, and we’re going to continue to use our convening power, to marshall the world, to galvanize support for Ukraine, but there are no plans for the president to enter Ukraine on this trip.”
