As the head of the State Department noted, Ukraine is now doing a lot to lock in a new phase of the war and ultimately win it. In his assessment, the situation has already been turned around.
As of now, we are in a position where Ukraine is winning the war at this moment
He emphasized that under favorable weather conditions, Ukrainian forces are now on the offensive, while Russia is waiting for winter for "cowardly attacks" on energy infrastructure.
This is a very important moment. Ukraine can continue to apply pressure on the battlefield
Levin also reported that U.S. sanctions against Russian oil are back in effect, and the U.S. will continue to work with European partners to strengthen restrictions.
According to him, Washington announced additional energy and humanitarian aid to Ukraine. In total, since last fall, the U.S. has provided about $1.5 billion in non-military, humanitarian, energy, and economic support.
The State Department representative emphasized that Ukraine's future should rely not only on state aid but also on long-term economic development and attracting private capital.
