U.S. National Security Council strategic communications coordinator John Kirby has assured that U.S. Intelligence has no confirmation that Belarus plans to physically enter Ukrainian territory to assist Russia in invading the country.
«I will tell you that we have not yet seen any signs that Belarus intends, plans or organizes to enter, physically penetrate into the territory of Ukraine to assist Russian forces in Ukraine,» the White House representative said in statements reported by Ukrinform.
In this regard, he said that the United States shares Poland’s concern in this regard, recalling that «it is clear» that Belarus has provided «significant geographical support» to Russia.
Meanwhile, the spokesman for the US National Security Council has criticized the words of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov after he compared the US approach to Russia on Wednesday to the Nazis’ effort to eradicate the Jewish people during the Holocaust.
«Our first reaction is how dare you compare anything to the Holocaust, anything. Let alone a war they started,» Kirby has asserted, as reported by ‘The Hill’.
«It’s almost so absurd that it’s not worth responding to, other than the truly offensive way he tried to portray us in terms of Hitler and the Holocaust,» he added.
Lavrov has accused Washington of trying to form a coalition of European countries to solve the «Russian question,» referring to the Nazis’ plan for the genocide of the Jewish people during World War II.
