U.S. not decided yet whether to supply Ukraine with lethal weapons
The U.S. has not decided yet on the delivery of lethal weapons to Ukraine, a senior U.S. State Department official has said.
"So on the Ukraine question, what I would say – President Poroshenko’s conversations when he was here in D.C. covered the full range of U.S.-Ukraine security cooperation. So that – Ukraine’s desires are well known, and our position continues that we have not yet taken a decision to do that, the official [identified as "Senior State Department Official One"] said at a briefing on Wednesday ahead of the U.S. Secretary of State's visit to Kyiv on July 9.
At the same time, a high-ranking diplomat said: "We have neither ruled out providing such weapons to Ukraine nor have we taken any decision to do so."
