Walker: explosions in Kalinovka will not affect the allocation to Ukraine of lethal weapons
Explosions and fire at the ammunition depot in Kalynivka in no way will affect the U.S. decision on granting Ukraine lethal weapons.
This was stated by the “Voice of America” special envoy on Ukraine U.S. State Department’s Kurt Volker, writes UKRINFORM.
“We don’t know all the circumstances. A lot of people are interested in the explosions, but there’s also the possibility that it was an accident. I think that the U.S. decision to provide weapons would be taken on the basis of the objectives of the US in this matter,” he said.
