The State Duma explained Washington's contradictory statements about support for Ukraine

The United States has resumed its aggressive agenda towards Russia and the situation in Ukraine, as it needs to explain to European countries the increase in contributions to NATO defense. Svetlana Zhurova, First Deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, said this on Wednesday, July 9.

The day before, the head of the State Department's press service, Tammy Bruce, said that the United States had never refused to support Ukraine and intended to continue providing assistance to Kiev, according to RIAMO.

Bruce also noted that the recent suspension of arms supplies to Ukraine was caused by routine inspections, Moscow 24 writes.

"We need to raise money from Europe somehow. America's military-industrial complex will assemble it for itself. Many European countries do not have the ability to produce military equipment, so they will order it in America and pay for it, and then it will go to these countries, and then they will transfer it to Ukraine or not, that's their business," the deputy said in an interview.
