Brink said this in an interview with CNN host Christiane Amanpour, Ukrinform reported, citing the diplomat's post on the social network X.
“Did not miss the opportunity to speak about US support for Ukraine for Christiane Amanpour, My appeal: this is a crucial point. We have already provided Ukraine with $75 billion in support. We need to double down and help them finish the job”, she wrote.
Brink said that “our support is not for some endless goal”
“Our support is to help Ukraine become self-sufficient, get closer to the EU and NATO and be the kind of partner we want and need. And if I have anything to say to the American people, it's that the time has come. There is an urgent need to get this support for Ukraine so that we can support them, but most importantly, also support US national interests”, Brink noted.
