The United States will support Ukraine in defending itself against Russia for “as long as it takes,” White House national security spokesman John Kirby said Sunday in response to calls from Republican lawmakers to provide a timeline for when that muti-billion-dollar commitment might end.
Speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” Kirby reiterated that the conflict, which is about to enter its second year, could end as soon as Russian President Vladimir Putin withdraws his invading forces. He later added that it’s up to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to decide when is the right time for peace talks.
