According to White House spokesman John Kirby, despite the great geographical distance, the war in Ukraine concerns US citizens. In particular, this was manifested in the rise in gasoline prices.
John Kirby, coordinator of the US National Security Council for strategic communications at the White House, said that the presidential administration considers it necessary to further support Ukraine, since if it is stopped, American blood will be shed. About it writes the publication Political Lore.
“If we stop supporting Ukraine, what will be Putin’s next conquest? How much more will we have to pay, including in American blood?” – journalists quote John Kirby.
The White House spokesman pointed out that despite the great geographical distance, the Russian-Ukrainian war affects the citizens of the United States. One of the manifestations of this influence is the rise in gasoline prices.
Earlier, on March 4, John Kirby also warned China against supplying weapons to the Russian Federation. According to him, the PRC has yet to make a choice, but the provision of military assistance to the Russian Federation does not meet the interests of Beijing.
At a press conference on March 2, John Kirby also announced the provision of a new package of military assistance to Ukraine. It is reported that the package will include the ammunition needed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the systems they already have.
According to Reuters on March 3, the United States is also conducting war planning exercises for Ukrainian troops in Germany. The training is aimed at helping the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine make decisions on the battlefield in the future.
