Washington: The United States is focused on providing Ukraine with conventional weapons and does not consider the possibility of returning nuclear weapons to the country, White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on Sunday.
“That is not under consideration. No. What we are doing is surging various conventional capacities to Ukraine, so that they can effectively defend themselves, not nuclear capability,” Sullivan told ABC’s This Week program.
Last week, The New York Times reported that some US and European officials were allegedly proposing the return of nuclear weapons to Ukraine. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that discussions about the possibility of deploying nuclear weapons in Ukraine were irresponsible and promoted by those with a poor understanding of reality.
