The ongoing war in Ukraine that has displaced millions of people is a result of the aggression of the Russian leadership and its president Vladimir Putin, the White House has said.
바카라This is a war of aggression by the Russian leadership, by President Putin that has left millions of people displaced, homeless; has targeted civilians, hospitals and other innocent people across Ukraine,바카라 White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters at her daily news conference on Friday.
바카라We know who the aggressor is; that is President Putin and Russia. And beyond that, I do not have any comment on military tactics,바카라 she said.
The official, however, refrained from commenting on the Russian statement that an apparent attack by Ukraine on one of its fuel depots is making it harder for Russia to stay engaged in the talks to end the war.
바카라We have seen those reports. We are not in a position to comment on the Kremlin바카라s statements. I would note Ukraine has not made any statements or confirmation of these reports,바카라 she said.
바카라I would also note that this is a war that President Putin started -- a brutal war with Russia's forces continuing to bombard cities across Ukraine and commit terrible acts of violence. We have seen the people of Ukraine fight valiantly in the face of unprovoked Russian brutality, but there is one aggressor here, and that is President Putin and the Russian military at his direction,바카라 Psaki said.
In Tampa for the Central Command change of command ceremony, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Putin바카라s invasion of his sovereign neighbour is unprovoked and unjust.
바카라And the Ukrainians are fighting bravely to defend their lives, democracy, and their freedom,바카라 he said.
Earlier, Secretary of State Tony Blinken spoke with his British counterpart Foreign Secretary Elizabeth Truss, during which the two diplomats emphasised the continued importance of transatlantic unity to support Ukraine, and coordinate further swift and consequential actions against those who support Putin바카라s war of choice on Ukraine.
바카라The two discussed the upcoming NATO Foreign Ministerial meeting and developing additional possible actions to ratchet up our response to Putin바카라s continued assault on the Ukrainian people,바카라 State Department Spokesperson Ned Price said. (With PTI inputs)
