Ukraine vows to keep fighting amid potential U.S. aid suspension

KIEV:Ukraine will keep fighting even if the incoming U.S. administration suspends the aid, the Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported Monday, citing the President's Office head Andriy Yermak.

"We will continue to fight, work with the new (U.S.) administration, and develop domestic production," Yermak said.

He acknowledged the risk of reduced U.S. support and emphasized that Ukraine would strengthen its ties with Europe if such a cut occurs.

Yermak said that Ukraine's performance on the frontline will significantly influence the position of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's administration regarding the aid.

Since the start of the full-scale Russia-Ukraine conflict, the United States has provided Ukraine with about 61.4 billion U.S. dollars in military assistance as of mid-December, according to the U.S. Department of State.
