US President Biden has no intention at this moment of engaging directly with President Putin, but “he leaves the door open to diplomacy. That has never closed shut. ” The statement came from White House Spokeswoman Jen Psaki during a briefing.
Referring to the situation in Ukraine, Psaki said that the United States intends to provide $ 10 billion in additional security assistance to Kyiv. According to her, the Biden administration has already addressed that request to the Congress.
At the same time, Psaki said that in order to continue supporting Kyiv, sanctions against Russia should be expanded, and NATO's eastern position should be strengthened. According to the White House Spokeswoman, the sanctions already imposed on Moscow have a huge impact on the Russian economy and financial system.
