White House Ignores Putin's Statement on NATO's Involvement in Ukraine Conflict
The press service of the American president refused to comment on the statement of Russian President Vladimir Putin about NATO's participation in the Ukrainian conflict.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre flatly refused to engage in “political discussions” or address “hypothetical questions.”
I am not going to touch on hypothetical issues. I will not get into internal political discussions, MIA " Russia Today " quotes White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre as saying.
The official's response followed a request to comment on the statement by the President of the Russian Federation about discussing the possibility of direct NATO participation in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
The day before, Vladimir Putin stated that members of the North Atlantic Alliance are currently discussing the possibility of Kiev using Western long-range missiles.
The outcome of such a decision could change the nature of the fighting if NATO becomes directly involved in the conflict.
In such a case, Russia will be forced to make appropriate decisions based on the threats created for it.
