The United States cannot support Ukraine endlessly because it has its own problems and, like European countries, is getting increasingly tired of the Ukrainian issue and financial burden, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Sunday.On Saturday, NBC News reported that US and European officials were expressing doubts about Ukraine's ability to break what they call a "stalemate" on the battlefield, and they were urging Ukraine to resort to peaceful negotiations. The Kremlin's spokesman specified that he meant the "financial feeding of the Ukrainian regime and the provision of it with ammunition and weapons." Western countries understand that some of the money allocated to Kiev is being plundered, which requires an explanation to the electorate, Peskov said. In addition, the European Council explained on Friday that the EU countries are yet to agree on the revision of the bloc's multiannual budget, including the provision of financial assistance for Ukraine worth 50 billion euros ($53 billion) from 2024-2027, while vowing to further work on it until the end of the year.According to Ukraine's defense minister, the country has received more than $100 billion in military aid from Western allies since the start of Russia's special military operation in February 2022. Moscow has consistently stated that continued aid to Ukraine only prolongs the conflict and does not contribute to its resolution.

US, Europe Getting Tired of Ukraine Problem: Kremlin
13:37 05.11.2023 (Updated: 15:18 05.11.2023) MOSCOW (Sputnik) – On Friday, the US Department of Defense announced a new $300 million military assistance package for Ukraine in addition to a $125 million drawdown. Russia has repeatedly stated that the West's continued support for Ukraine only prolongs the conflict and does not contribute to its resolution.
The United States cannot support Ukraine endlessly because it has its own problems and, like European countries, is getting increasingly tired of the Ukrainian issue and financial burden, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Sunday.
On Saturday, NBC News reported that US and European officials were expressing doubts about Ukraine's ability to break what they call a "stalemate" on the battlefield, and they were urging Ukraine to resort to peaceful negotiations.
"In both the US and Europe, there is growing fatigue with the Ukrainian issue as such, with the Kiev regime and with the burden they have placed on their shoulders," Peskov told Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin.
The Kremlin's spokesman specified that he meant the "financial feeding of the Ukrainian regime and the provision of it with ammunition and weapons."
"Even the most economically powerful countries, such as the US, cannot do this indefinitely and they have enough problems of their own [...] and at some point it all becomes too much of a burden for them to bear," Peskov said.
Western countries understand that some of the money allocated to
Kiev is being plundered, which requires an explanation to the electorate, Peskov said.
"They realize that a certain part of the money they give to Ukraine is being simply plundered […] and of course, they have to explain to their voters somehow why there is no proper mechanism for monitoring the spending of funds [...] and that is why such materials appear. And what else can they do?" Peskov said.
In addition, the European Council explained on Friday that the EU countries are yet to agree on the revision of the bloc's multiannual budget, including the provision of financial assistance for Ukraine worth 50 billion euros ($53 billion) from 2024-2027, while vowing to further work on it until the end of the year.
According to Ukraine's defense minister, the country has received more than $100 billion in military aid from Western allies since the start of Russia's special military operation in February 2022. Moscow has consistently stated that continued
aid to Ukraine only prolongs the conflict and does not contribute to its resolution.
