Marking two weeks since Russia invaded Ukraine, a senior US Embassy official in Israel said Wednesday that Washington continues to support the Ukrainian government, but will stay on the sidelines — both militarily and in terms of evaluating negotiated peace terms.
In a briefing to reporters in Tel Aviv, the official said, “The United States stands in solidarity with and will continue to support the government and the people of Ukraine in the face of the Kremlin’s aggression,” adding that, “President [Vladimir] Putin and Foreign Minister [Sergey] Lavrov are directly responsible” for the war.
