A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs explained how the balance of aid to Ukraine from the U.S. and the EU shifted

Tikhyi provided the relevant comment to “Shelter.”

In particular, when responding to a question from “Shelter” about which of Ukraine’s partners had increased military aid and which had reduced it, the diplomat emphasized that the level of this aid had not only not decreased but had actually increased, though the balance had shifted.

“Our military aid to Ukraine is quite stable. And despite all the concerns and fears over the past two years that it would weaken or disappear—it has not weakened. In absolute terms and in volume, this aid remains at the same level it was at. And it is actually growing year after year,” Tykhyi noted.

At the same time, the spokesperson for the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also commented on forecasts of a harsh winter for Ukraine.

“Everyone’s already sick of hearing about this winter—every news outlet is saying it’s going to be a tough one. Everyone understands that it will be harsh. For us, this really comes down to our daily work to strengthen Ukraine, protect energy infrastructure, secure funding for the energy sector, and acquire equipment so that we can get through this winter,” Tykhyi said.

As a reminder, recently, the former U.S. Special Envoy to Ukraine, retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, stated while in Kyiv that the U.S. must balance the burden on its defense industry and security assistance between the Middle East and Ukraine, where a war is also underway.
