"There will be hard days ahead in Ukraine - hardest for the Ukrainian troops on the front lines and the civilians under Russian bombardment," Sullivan underscored.

Sullivan did not further what will make Ukraine face the "hard days" ahead, but the national security adviser pointed out that its war against Russia "will not end easily or rapidly."
