WATCH: White House assures Ukraine aid is ‘unwavering’ regardless of midterm outcomes

The White House insisted Monday U.S. support for Ukraine will be “unflinching and unwavering” regardless of what happens in Tuesday’s midterm elections.

Watch the briefing in the player above.

Speaking at the briefing, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, “The United States will continue to support Ukraine across a range of areas, whether it’s security assistance, economic assistance or human rights assistance.”

“Members of Congress, Republicans and Democrat, have been clear about our enduring support for Ukraine,” she added.

Her comments come as a number of Republicans in Congress have been critical of U.S. funding for Ukraine, which has helped the country battle Russia’s invasion and continue providing basic services to its people.

Rep. Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana), who is expected to become majority leader in the House, the second-in-command behind the speaker, has said any additional aid for Ukraine should be narrowly targeted rather than include “a whole lot of unrelated things to promote a far left agenda.”

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, meanwhile, said at a rally last week for former President Donald Trump that if Republicans take control of Congress, they will not send “another penny” to Ukraine.

Asked about reports that national security adviser Jake Sullivan has been in direct talks with Russian officials about the war in Ukraine, Jean-Pierre declined to comment about “specific conversations.”

But she said the administration “reserves the right to speak directly at senior levels about issues of concern to the United States. That has happened over the course of the past few months.”

She said the conversations between Sullivan and Russia have focused “only on risk reduction in the U.S., Russia relationship” and the White House continues to adhere to the principle of “nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.”
