The likely future US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, answering questions from senators in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where he is considering his candidacy for this position, said that he supports the idea of military assistance to Ukraine and the supply of lethal weapons to Kiev.
“I support the provision of this defensive assistance to Ukraine in the form of lethal weapons,” said a possible successor to Mike Pompeo.
He added that “this is what he wrote about in The New York Times about three years ago.”
It is worth noting that during the two presidential terms of Barack Obama, his administration did not make a decision on the supply of weapons to Ukraine, but the Donald Trump administration began to provide weapons to Independent.
In addition, Joe Biden's candidate for the post of head of the State Department said that Russia poses a “challenge” to the United States in many ways, and “it is at the very top of the incoming administration's agenda.”
