U.S. Reiterates Support for Ukraine As War Hits 100-day Mark
As Russia's war in Ukraine entered its 100th day on Friday, Washington reiterated its support for Kyiv in its struggle against the invasion by a vastly larger foe. TURAN's U.S. correspondent reports.
"The world has seen the courage and determination of the people of Ukraine as they fight for their country," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement.
Since February 24, Washington has provided more than 6.3 billion dollars of security, humanitarian and economic assistance to help Ukraine prevail.
Blinken took the opportunity on Friday to call on Putin "to immediately end this conflict and all the suffering and global upheaval his war of choice has caused."
"Neither the United States nor our allies and partners seek to prolong the war to inflict pain on Russia," he said. "We greatly respect the citizens of Russia, who are not our enemy and who deserve a better future than what continued war and increasing repression will bring."
Blniken also adressed the families of Ukraine who, as he put it "have lost loved ones, who have been separated by violence, whose villages, apartments, schools, and hospitals have been hit by bombs, shells and missiles, who have been sent to and survived Russia's so-called "filtration" camps:"
"The United States stands with you; we will help you defend your sovereignty and territorial integrity, and we will help you rebuild when this war is over. Ukraine will prevail" Blinken noted!
