On March 20, a representative of the White House John Kirby announced at a briefing. He noted that since February 2022, Russian invaders were able to occupy a large territory of Ukraine, but Ukrainian troops conducted successful counter -offenses and liberated their lands. In total, more than 50% of the territories previously employed by Russians, this process has already been deocal. Kirby drew attention to the situation near Bakhmut, where Russian troops intend to advance and surround it.
He recalled that the plans for the capture of the city have failed, because the Ukrainian settlement is still under the control of the Armed Forces. "Now they are fighting for it, but Ukrainians do not give up," the White House spokesman said. Kirby also added that the US is actively working to ensure that Ukrainian troops receive the required amount of ammunition.
The Defense Forces of Ukraine will be able to prepare for the fighting for the next weeks and months for the release of the temporarily occupied territory of the state thanks to the support of the United States. Earlier, Focus reported that the United States has criticized China's plan to end the war in Ukraine. John Kirby noted that the ceasefire between the parties to the conflict would now mean another violation of the UN Charter.
He stressed that if you stop the fire right now, it actually ratifies the capture of Ukrainian territories by Russian invaders, but it will not stop the war. The White House representative also announced additional assistance for Ukraine in early March. John Kirby did not name the specific amount of assistance.
