[Yahoo] As Putin massed attack helicopters and aircraft on the eastern Ukrainian border, Biden and NATO leaders condemned Russia and called for a drawdown but made no public offers of military assistance. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urgently called for entry into NATO and the military weaponry his country lacks.
"Russia is not the entity that takes words seriously," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba told the Washington Examiner at a June 3 meeting in Kyiv.
There is, at this time, uncertainty regarding the status of military assistance to the Ukraine. Some lower level Biden Admin officials deny 'the freeze', others say, 'it's a pause' others say 're evaluation'. |
