The White House maintains that “Ukraine can and will prevail” against Russia, given the necessary boost in military equipment from the United States and other Western powers.

“As we look ahead to the rest of 2024, our view is that Ukraine retains key advantages in this fight,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters on Wednesday. “Ukraine can and will prevail. And that will be thanks to the bravery of its people but also the support of its friends.”
