The US will continue to support Ukraine and provide an additional $300 million in 2022. This was announced on Wednesday, January 19, by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
“We will continue to support, which includes defense assistance and security assistance. Such support is given from both parties of the USA. This was evident during the visit of the delegation of senators yesterday, as well as during the visit of the delegation of the House of Representatives in December, ”he said at a press conference with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba in Kiev, which was broadcast on the State Department page in Twitter.
A day earlier, a spokeswoman for the US State Department said that Washington would continue to send military assistance to Ukraine to strengthen its defense capabilities, with new deliveries to take place in the coming weeks.
On December 17, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urged Blinken not to replicate speculation about alleged Russian aggression in Ukraine, but to force Kiev to comply with the Minsk agreements. He noted that Kiev is obliged to comply with the Minsk agreements, it cannot have any plan B. According to him, Ukraine is under the external control of the United States.
On January 16, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov stressed that Russia does not show military escalation against Ukraine.
Earlier, on January 14, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said that the United States had evidence that Russia was allegedly preparing a pretext for invading Ukraine. Kirby noted that it was about “a group of operatives who are preparing to conduct a false flag operation.”
Lavrov said the same day that Russia had never threatened the Ukrainian people. In addition, the Foreign Ministry has repeatedly stressed that the Russian Federation did not attack and does not plan to attack Ukraine.
