Jake Sullivan reported on Biden's plans to convince the future US administration to continue to help Ukraine. The president will have 70 days to prove the need for continued support for Ukraine by Congress.

Current US President Joe Biden will call on President-elect Donald Trump and Congress to continue supporting Ukraine in the war with Russia. This was announced by Biden's National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan in an interview with CBS News, UNN reports.

Our approach remains the same as it has been over the past two and a half years: to put Ukraine in the strongest position on the battlefield so that it is ultimately in the strongest position at the negotiating table,

- Sullivan said.

According to him, the United States and the coalition of nations should continue to supply Ukraine with means to defend itself against Russian aggression.

Sullivan emphasized that Biden will have an opportunity over the next 70 days to prove to Congress and the new administration that the United States "should not walk away from Ukraine, that walking away from Ukraine means even more instability in Europe.

President Biden will argue that we need continued resources for Ukraine after his term ends, because the threat to Ukraine will remain regardless of what happens on the battlefield or at the negotiating table

- the advisor added.
