Reuters reported on Wednesday that the US administration warned the Kiev government that reserves for supporting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia are not infinite. 

Citing an anonymous US official, the news agency said that "the administration has told the Ukrainian government that US resources are not infinite".

"Everybody understands that this has to end at some point. And we all would like to see it end sooner rather than later," the source told Reuters. 

White House National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson told the news agency that Americans are very much aware of what is at stake with regard to the possibility of cutting assistance to Ukraine and that the conflict was a matter of "freedom and independence" for Ukrainians. 

"Americans' support for Ukraine is reflected in strong bipartisan support Ukraine assistance has received in both houses of Congress."

On February 20, US President Joe Biden made a surprise visit to Kiev during which he announced a new $450 million military aid package that Ukraine would be receiving soon.

The new military support entails a shipment of artillery ammunition, anti-tank systems, and air surveillance radars.

The President underlined that his trip's objective is to prove that his administration is still adamant on supporting Ukraine. 

Yesterday, Biden held a speech at the Warsaw Royal castle and affirmed the US and the collective West "will not waver" in their support of Ukraine.

"One year ago, the world was bracing for the fall of Kiev," Biden said before his audience. "I can report: Kiev stands strong. Kiev stands proud. It stands tall and, most important, it stands free."  

"Democracies of the world will stand guard over freedom today, tomorrow, and forever," Biden added, noting that the US and its allies will "have Ukraine's back."
