MOSCOW, February 24. /TASS/. The United States is not going to stop weapons supplies to Ukraine, US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland said in an interview with TASS.

"As long as Ukraine has to fight for its survival against Russia’s attacks, we will support Ukraine’s ability to defend itself and to re-establish its sovereignty, its freedom, its territorial integrity," Nuland said, answering a question if the US wound keep sending weapons to Ukraine.

Earlier, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin told TASS that talks on Ukraine may take place if Western countries and the Kiev regime lay down their arms and stop shelling Russian cities. He stressed that the West’s weapons supplies to Kiev would inevitably trigger escalation of the conflict.
