White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday that Washington and Kiev maintain close ties. This is reported by the UNN, citing the broadcast of a regular briefing from the U.S. Presidential Administration.
"We are in close contact with the Ukrainian leadership, but I have nothing to announce today," she said.
She did not, however, respond to a question about whether the U.S. might send additional weapons or military advisers to Ukraine.
Psaki recalled that U.S. President Joe Biden had previously ordered to allocate up to $60 million in military aid to Ukraine from Pentagon funds. According to the White House press secretary, for Biden, the United States "has repeatedly demonstrated that it can use a number of tools to counteract Russia's harmful activity."
A day earlier, CNN reported that the United States was considering sending its military advisers as well as additional weapons to Ukraine in light of the accumulation of Russian armed forces near the Ukrainian border.
