He noted that the presence of US aircraft in the sky over Ukraine to respond to Russian strikes would mean just such a confrontation

Miller emphasized that the US is not going to get involved in an indirect armed conflict with Russia: “The President of the United States has made that clear.”

According to him, the conflict between the USA and the Russian Federation would mean the threat of the beginning of the Third World War.

Nevertheless, according to the representative of the State Department, the United States is fully committed to supporting the defense of Ukraine.

He emphasized that the Biden administration has proven this commitment during the last more than two years of full-scale war waged by the Russian Federation against Ukraine.

Direct speech: “And if you want to ask a question about what else we can do, it will be addressed to the United States Congress.”

More details: He reminded that there is a bill in the House of Representatives with additional funding for US national security needs, which would allow Ukraine to receive more weapons, including air defense systems: “And we hope that it will be adopted.”
