The United States is offering more support to help Ukraine resist Russia, according to Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, APA reports citing CNN.
Early Tuesday morning local time, a tweet from the minister’s verified account referenced a conversation with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Kuleba tweeted, “In our call, @SecBlinken affirmed that the U.S. support for Ukraine remains unfaltering. I underscored that Ukraine craves for peace, but as long as we are under Russia’s assault we need more sanctions and weapons. Secretary assured me of both. We coordinated further steps.”
Last week, US President Joe Biden unveiled a set of harsh measures against Russia, saying: "Putin chose this war."
Blinken announced further actions against Russia on Monday, including barring Russian financial institutions — such as the Russian Central Bank -- from making transactions in American dollars. The US also imposed sanctions on the state-owned Russian Direct Investment Fund, calling it a "known slush fund" for Putin and his inner circle.
Washington also put sanctions on people it described as "corrupt billionaires" and their families who are close to the Kremlin.
