The administration of the United States is considering the option of using revenues from frozen Russian assets to purchase weapons for Ukraine. This was stated by U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine peace negotiations, Keith Kellogg, during an appearance on Fox News.
He noted that the continuation of military supplies to Ukraine is unlikely to contribute to a ceasefire.
We have repeatedly discussed the possibility of using Russian assets to buy American weapons. This is one piece of the puzzle that needs to be discussed, and it will be one of the options presented to the president.
