Each U.S. assistance package for Ukraine will be adjusted based on battlefield situation - Brink

U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink told this to journalists in Kyiv on Thursday after presenting her credentials to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"A drawdown of $700 million in security assistance is not going to be the last, because it is part of the $40 billion assistance package that has been approved by Congress and signed by the President. So each package is going to be adjusted based on the battlefield situation and our conversations with Ukrainians as to what they need," she said.

She noted that the United States is actively coordinating international military assistance to Ukraine with Ukrainian partners.

"We all believe that this assistance needs to happen quickly. I do think that there were some problems at first but my understanding is that now it's very quick, within days, less even, of a decision, that the hardware is in Ukrainian hands," the ambassador said.

The United States on June 1 announced a new package of military assistance to Ukraine, which includes advanced longer-range missile systems.
