Bloomberg: U.S. Says Russia Sent New Arms to Ukraine Separatists
(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. accused Russia of sending new weapons to separatists in eastern Ukraine, as Germany warned that the conflict is still far from a peaceful resolution despite a cease-fire agreement.
The U.S. confirmed the arms delivery and can tell when Russia sends weapons to the rebels, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday. The “continued resupply over the border is not compatible with the spirit or the letter” of the peace agreement negotiated in Minsk, Belarus, she said.
The Obama administration is “actively” considering additional security assistance to Ukraine, “including the possibility of lethal defensive weapons,” Deputy Under Secretary of Defense Brian McKeon told the same hearing in Washington.
