This is reported by The Washington Post.

According to the information of the ministry, the officials of the US National Security Council insist that the administration of the current president "work slowly but surely" to provide the Ukrainian side with the opportunity to react to the penetration of Russian tanks, artillery and other equipment into the occupied territories.

It is noteworthy that a few weeks ago a meeting of the board of directors was held on this issue, which was attended also by members of the cabinet of the president.

Now, officials formalize a number of options that will later be presented to the head of the US government Donald Trump.

Let's add that the expected decision of the president will have consequences far beyond Donbass.

As previously reported in URA-Infrom, US Defense Secretary James Mattis argues that the Pentagon is not concerned about armed deliveries to Manila. Washington did not attach much importance to this decision on the part of the Russian Federation, since both the Philippines and Russia are sovereign countries, and their leadership itself decides what actions must be taken in the world arena.
