“The United States does not have hopes that Russia is ready to end the war in Ukraine.” About this in an interview with the Rain television channel tell the White House Speaker John Kirby.
According to him, the war in Ukraine is not a war with the USA or NATO, but with Ukrainians.
“Russia chose to start a war with Ukraine and Ukrainians. And, unfortunately, nothing of what we observe today does not allow us to feed any hopes that it is ready to put an end to this war, the killings of civilians” ” , – emphasized Kirby.
Commenting on the statements of Russian representatives of the authorities that the supply of the West of weapons to Ukraine is only drawn up by the conflict, Kirby said that this conflict is delaying the desire of Russia’s leadership to continue it.
“They could end the war today if they agreed to withdraw their troops and voluntarily sit with Zelensky at the negotiating table to discuss the completion of this conflict. Of course, Zelensky must decide whether he is ready for negotiations, and we must respect him as the supreme commander in chief. It is obvious that in recent days Russia demonstrates that it is not interested in this, ”he added.
