“A political solution must be found within the framework of international law and the UN Charter,” TASS quoted him as saying.

United States Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Karen Donfried said earlier that Washington does not yet see signs of a diplomatic settlement of the conflict in Ukraine in the near future.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, stressed that Russia strongly condemns the actions of the United States, which are postponing a peaceful settlement in Ukraine.

According to her, the responsibility for the consequences of these actions lies with Washington "and its puppets in Kyiv."

On June 1, US President Joe Biden announced the allocation of a new military assistance package to Ukraine, which included the HIMARS MLRS.

At the same time, the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Yegor Chernev, allowed the use of American HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems for strikes on the territory of Russia.
