"If Putin thinks he will stay longer than us, he is mistaken." White House responds to accusations of "Ukraine fatigue"
The White House has rejected the Kremlin's claims that Western fatigue with Ukraine will grow, and that contradictions will grow among Kyiv's Western partners.
In addition, Washington will soon announce a new aid package for Ukraine, White House spokeswoman Karin Jean-Pierre said, according to Voice of America.
"Here is our message to Putin. The president has created a coalition of more than 50 countries. He has provided assistance to support Ukraine. This is what the president has done. And we gathered more than 140 countries to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This is what the president has managed to do. Ukraine has a strong, very strong international coalition behind it. And if Putin thinks he can hold out longer than we can, he is wrong. He is wrong. And so we will soon announce another aid package for Ukraine to show our continued support for the brave people of Ukraine. This is our message," said Carine Jean-Pierre.
Earlier, Russian Presidential Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said that "fatigue from the absolutely absurd sponsorship of the Kyiv regime will grow in different countries, including the United States. This fatigue will lead to the fragmentation of the political establishment and the growth of contradictions," he said.
