“From the first day we have clearly stated that we will provide Ukraine with weapons to protect them from Russian aggression, to protect them within their borders.

We do not provide weapons that will allow the Ukrainians to attack Russia from their territory.

President Biden made it clear that we are not going to be a party to the war, but we will support Ukraine's efforts to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity, ”RIA Novosti quoted the diplomat as saying.

Earlier, The Washington Post, citing unnamed sources, reported that the US administration still does not exclude the supply of multiple launch rocket systems, but we are not talking about systems capable of striking at long distances.

At the same time, US President Joe Biden ruled out the supply of missile systems to Ukraine capable of striking Russian territory.
