The White House considers the Summit a success

He called this weekend's Ukraine Peace Summit, which was attended by Vice President Kamala Harris and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, a success.

According to Kirby, delegations from more than 100 countries and organisations came together to discuss the importance of achieving a just and sustainable peace in Ukraine based on the core principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity as enshrined in the UN's founding principles.

Kirby recalled President Joe Biden's statement that lasting peace in Ukraine must be ensured by its own ability to defend itself now and deter aggression in the future.

He also assured that the United States will continue to provide military assistance to Ukraine and support the Ukrainian people, including a new funding package to rebuild Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

"The United States will provide additional humanitarian assistance to people in Ukraine affected by the aggression, as well as to those who have become refugees and have been forced to flee abroad," Kirby said.
