Ukraine needs additional military assistance, said the press-secretary of the White House during today’s briefing.

“I think these are all discussions that we’re having through the interagency, and there’ll be a recommendation made to the President.

I mean, there’s no question they need additional military assistance. As part of Secretary Austin’s follow-up to his trip to Ukraine, he was in Germany today meeting to discuss kind of the next steps and what their needs are as the - as the - as the battle and the war continues to evolve.

But they are also going to have significant humanitarian and economic needs as well. So I would expect that all of them will continue to be touched on. But these are the discussions that are happening in the interagency process now…

I would say that the range of military assistance that we’ve provided to date was meant to be frontloaded because of our expectation or anticipation, led by our Department of Defense and military leaders, about the nature of the fight and how it has evolved, right? That because they’re on a terrain now that — where they’re in need of long-range military capacity, we’ve tried to expedite the assistance over the past couple of weeks that they’re receiving.

So it might not be, over the next couple of weeks, the same size of assistance week by week. But in terms of what the next package will look like and what will be passed, I mean, those are discussions and recommendations that the President will get from his military leaders. We’ll have those discussions with Congress. I’m not in a position to put a cap on it at this point in time”, - said Jen Psaki.
