White House: Ukraine and the United States maintain close contacts

“We maintain close contacts with the Ukrainian leadership, but I have nothing to announce today,” TASS quoted her as saying.

So she answered the question of whether Washington can send additional weapons or advisers to Kiev, as well as whether there have been relevant requests from Ukraine.

Earlier, CNN, citing sources, said that the administration of US President Joe Biden is studying the possibility of sending military advisers to Ukraine, as well as additional weapons, including Stinger MANPADS, due to fears of a "Russian invasion."

Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for the Russian president, commented on these media reports.
