"The United States did not give Ukraine any weapons that could strike the airfield in Crimea."

APA reports that this was stated by a representative of the Pentagon, who did not wish to disclose his name, at a closed briefing held on August 12.

He added that the United States has no evidence to show that the attack on the airfield was carried out by missiles.

It should be noted that on August 9, explosions took place at the Novofedorovka military airfield on the Crimean peninsula.
