US Does Not Have Another Military Package for Ukraine in Works Right Now
19:36 GMT 16.01.2024 (Updated: 03:53 GMT 17.01.2024) WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The United States does not have another military aid package for Ukraine in the works as funding for previous packages has run out, White House Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said on Wednesday.
"There isn't another one in the works right now or being scheduled for announcement or delivery. We meant it when we said it at the time that that was the last one for which we had replenishment authority," said Kirby during a press briefing.
In addition, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that if the West fails to support Ukraine now, it could end up in a conflict between NATO and Russia.
During an interview with CNBC on the sidelines of the Davos summit on Tuesday, Blinken stated that if Washington and its allies stop providing support to Ukraine, it will open up a Pandora’s box.
Asked what Russian President Vladimir Putin would do next, Blinken stated: "I think he would go full-tilt on Ukraine and then NATO countries."
"And of course, if he attacked a NATO country, we have Article 5 obligations under NATO to work to assist them," he said. "That would bring us in directly."
In December, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that US President Joe Biden's remarks about a possible Russian attack on NATO countries were "nonsense." Biden himself probably understands this, Putin added.
Russia has no geopolitical, economic, political or military interest in waging a war against NATO countries, Putin stressed. Russia and these countries do not have any territorial claims against each other, he said.
Moscow has no problems with NATO countries, but they are the ones who create problems artificially because they do not want such a competitor as Russia, Putin stated.
