White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in a press briefing that the Biden administration condemns President Putin's statement to Ukraine at the final press conference after meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.

When asked by a journalist about how the White House reacted to Putin’s statement, when he commented on Ukraine’s refusal to comply with the Minsk agreements in the Russian interpretation, he said the phrase: “Like it, don’t like it - be patient, my beauty! ”, which was perceived in the context of what was said as an unsuccessful joke about the rape of Ukraine, Psaki replied:.

“Well, first of all, I would say that any joke about rape is sure to outrage absolutely everyone in the Biden administration, regardless of whether it comes from the mouth of an American or foreign official.. I also note that we have never restrained our reactions to the belligerent rhetoric and the untruthfulness of some statements coming from the lips of President Putin and representatives of the Russian leadership. And, of course, this “joke” does not arouse our admiration,” Psaki said..

Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba said that the Minsk agreements cannot be implemented on Russian terms, which are based on direct dialogue between Ukraine and ORDLO. The head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry also stressed that although Minsk is the base platform for resolving the situation in Donbas, Ukraine will not comply with the agreements in the Russian interpretation, since they contradict Ukrainian national interests..

NSDC Secretary Oleksiy Danilov warned the West against forcing Ukraine to comply with the Minsk agreements. He noted that an attempt to implement them could provoke internal unrest that would benefit Moscow..
