WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Ukraine is currently having to make strategic decisions about pulling out of some areas in order to strengthen their defensive lines in the conflict with Russia, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said on Thursday.

Singh stated that Ukraine was facing such decisions because Washington is not providing it with the necessary capabilities amid stalemate in Congress.
