The new White House administration intends to cope with “growing rivalry” from China and Russia.
As the Correspondent writes, the candidate for the post of US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken supports the idea of providing Ukraine with American weapons, he said in Congress at a hearing on his candidacy for the post.
“I support the provision of this defensive assistance to Ukraine in the form of weapons. In fact, that’s what I wrote about in The New York Times about three years ago”, – he said.
Blinken was asked a question in connection with the fact that the administration of outgoing Republican Donald Trump began the provision of arms to Ukraine by the United States, while the administration of his predecessor, the Democrat Barack Obama, did not.
