The US Secretary of State said that he is confident that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be able to hold the front line in the East. He also commented on the situation with assistance to Ukraine.

What Blinken said about the situation in front

The US Secretary of State noted that this week the US announced a second package of military assistance to Ukrainian defenders worth $400 million. According to the official, the United States and Europe are doing everything possible to provide this assistance as quickly as possible.

I am convinced that Ukraine can effectively hold the line (front – 24 Channel) in the East, and can continue to use the advantages it gained for itself in the Black Sea. And also to keep Russian forces at gunpoint, including those in Crimea, to make it more difficult for them to continue this aggression,” Blinken said.

He explained that the United States is providing Ukraine with weapons for this , but now is a difficult moment. According to the Secretary of State, the United States, like the other 50 allied countries of Ukraine, “will not go anywhere,” that is, they will continue to provide assistance to Kyiv.

“And if Putin thinks that he can overpower Ukraine, overpower its supporters, he is mistaken,” assured Anthony Blinken.
