Neither the United States nor our allies and partners seek to prolong the war to inflict pain on Russia, US State Secretary Antony Blinken said.
“We again call on President Putin to immediately end this conflict and all the suffering and global upheaval his war of choice has caused. Neither the United States nor our allies and partners seek to prolong the war to inflict pain on Russia,” Blinken’s statement reads.
According to the State Secretary US greatly respects the citizens of Russia, who are not enemy of the US and who deserve a better future than what continued war and increasing repression will bring.
At the same time, Blinken stressed the US desire to strengthen Ukraine's military potential.
“The United States stands with you; we will help you defend your sovereignty and territorial integrity, and we will help you rebuild when this war is over,” Blinken said.
Summing up the 100th day of hostilities in Ukraine, he expressed confidence that “Ukraine will prevail.”
