White House Pledges Support For Ukraine Amid Counter-offensive

The White House has promised to keep up support for Ukraine as Kyiv’s troops press ahead with a multipronged counteroffensive aimed at recapturing territory seized by Russia.

“We’ll leave it to Ukraine to describe their operations but it is clear they are fighting hard to take back territory,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters.

“We will continue to support Ukraine as they continue to defend their democracy against Russian aggression,” she added.
