The US pledges to provide Ukraine with “enhanced defensive capabilities” to help it “deter further aggression.” The move will deepen Washington’s involvement in the country that is grappling with an armed insurgency in its eastern parts by pro-Russian militias. Russia has rebuked the US decision saying that it could lead to “new bloodshed”.
In this edition of The Debate, Press TV has conducted an interview with Adam Garrie, a managing editor of theduran.com from London, and Ian Williams, a senior analyst with Foreign Policy in Focus from New York, to discuss a showdown between the US and Russia following Washington's decision to provide lethal arms to Ukraine.
