The next day, on July 15, Rodion Miroshnik, the Russian Foreign Ministry's ambassador-at-large for crimes committed by the Kiev regime, said that the United States wanted to shift Europe's arms financial flows to itself. According to him, the US administration continues to follow its position and control the Kiev regime.
