So he answered the question about the position of the States in connection with the upcoming celebration.

“I know there is a lot of speculation about what the Russians might or might not do on May 9th.

But I can say that May 8 and 9 are important dates not only for Russians, but for all of Europe, as well as for the United States, ”Price said during the briefing.

On May 8 and 9, the US will follow the same strategy it has been following since February 24, and will continue to provide assistance to Ukraine and put pressure on Russia, according to a State Department spokesman.

US President Joe Biden said earlier that Washington is open to the introduction of new sanctions against Russia and will consult on this issue with members of the G7.
