HIROSHIMA /Japan/, May 20. /TASS/. By providing military aid to the Kiev government, the United States is trying to prevent World War Three, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Saturday.
"When it comes to the question of escalation, of course, the United States government is a learning organism. This conflict has been dynamic, it has unfolded over time," he told reporters on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Hiroshima. "Fundamentally, the president’s core precept is that we are going to do everything that we can to support Ukraine in its defense of its sovereignty and territorial integrity and we are also going to proceed in a way that avoids World War Three."
He added that the US point of view was guided by "steps taken by Russia and its reaction to the provision of assistance to Ukraine.".
