"The whole world has just witnessed once again the malice and ferocity of Putin’s war of his choosing – rooted in aggression and waged with a deep disdain for the rules of war," said US Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III at the Sixth Ukraine Defense Contact Group, APA reports.
"Russia’s latest barrage against Ukrainian cities has again killed and wounded innocent civilians – and put non-military targets in its crosshairs.
But Russia’s recent attacks have only deepened the resolve of the Ukrainian people – and further spurred the unification of countries of good will from every region of the globe.
So today we gather again to support Ukraine’s inalienable right to self-defense. And our resolve and determination only grew stronger," added Lloyd Austin,
