Pentagon spokesman: it is important not to slow down the pace of arms supplies to Ukraine

“Now is not the right time to slow down when it comes to supporting the defense of Ukraine,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

He stressed that Washington will continue to supply weapons to Kyiv, as well as "train and equip" Ukrainian military personnel.

Earlier, Michael McCall, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the US House of Representatives, announced the need to transfer ATACMS missiles to Kyiv for strikes in Crimea.
