The State Department reminded that the US has consistently stated that all assistance provided to the Armed Forces of Ukraine is needed only to protect territorial integrity and sovereignty.

"The only provocative measures that were taken during this entire conflict were taken by Russia," the representative of the State Department emphasized.

they would not allow "Russian commentators" to influence military aid for Ukraine
