Psaki: US considers constructive support for Kyiv in the current situation

She answered the question why the US administration does not conduct direct negotiations with the Russian side.

“Our role now, which we consider the most constructive, is to continue to support the Ukrainians at the negotiating table, as well as militarily,” Psaki said during the briefing.

Earlier, US National Intelligence Director Avril Haynes said that the US intelligence service does not yet see a “viable negotiating path” to resolve the Ukrainian crisis.

As Sergei Naryshkin, director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, noted, the United States is prolonging the conflict in Ukraine with “the meanest methods.”
