Washington, Mar 4: President Joe Biden continues to believe that diplomacy with Russia is possible, and the United States is not advocating for killing the leader of a foreign country, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said on Friday.
“The President believes there continues to be a diplomatic path forward that will help resolve what we are seeing on the ground. President Putin has the ability to de-escalate,” Psaki told a press briefing.
She added that Washington is not advocating for killing the leader of a foreign country. “This is not the policy of the United States,” she stated.
On Thursday, Sen. Lindsey Graham claimed, referring to President Vladimir Putin, that the only way to end the Ukraine crisis is for Russians to “take this guy out.”
White House Press Secretary said she has nothing to predict regarding whether the US will provide fighter jets to Ukraine.
“We have provided a range of security and military assistance, including defensive assistance. We recently provided helicopters,” Psaki said when asked about the US providing Kiev with jets. “I don’t have anything in addition to predict on that front.”
