Blinken: US will help Ukraine return captured territories

The United States continues to help Ukraine to return the territories occupied by Russia since February 24, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said at The Wall Street Journal.

“Our attention is focused on continuing to do what we did, namely, to make sure that Ukraine has in its hands what it needs for self -defense to repulse Russia in order to return the territory that was occupied with February 24, ”said Blinken, adding that, in addition to the military, Kyiv also needs economic and humanitarian support.

Answering a journalist’s question about Ukraine to return Crimea, US Secretary of State noted that Ukrainians themselves “make decisions about where they want to go when and how they want to do it.”
