Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on November 5 that the US cannot support Ukraine indefinitely because Washington also has its own problems and, like European countries, is increasingly weary of the Ukraine issue and the financial burden.

The previous day, NBC News reported that U.S. and European officials were expressing doubts about Ukraine's ability to break the stalemate on the battlefield and were urging Kyiv to engage in peace talks.
In an interview with Rossiya-1 , Peskov stated: “In both the US and Europe, more and more people are tired of the Ukraine issue, of the Kiev authorities, and of the burden that (this Eastern European country) places on them.” The Kremlin representative clarified that he was referring to “the issue of providing financial support to the Ukrainian authorities, as well as the supply of ammunition and weapons.”
Peskov emphasized: "Even the most economically powerful countries, such as the United States, cannot do this indefinitely, and they already have enough problems of their own… and at some point, it all becomes too much of a burden for them."
Peskov said that Western countries understand that some of the money allocated to Kyiv is being stolen.
"They realize that a certain portion of the money they provide to Ukraine is simply being plundered… And of course, they have to explain to their voters somehow why there is no proper mechanism to monitor the disbursement," Peskov asserted.
