US Department of State: We will not allow borders of Europe to be redrawn at barrel of gun

Moscow must implement the Minsk agreements.

Jen Psaki, a spokesperson for the US Department of State, said at a briefing on February 10 that the US was concerned about the reports of increased violence in eastern Ukraine and its influence to attempts to resolve the conflict peacefully. She stressed that the United States was committed to a diplomatic solution to the conflict, but noted that Russia and pro-Russian separatists should implement their commitments under the Minsk agreements, Voice of America reports.

Jen Psaki mentioned the recent statement by Barack Obama, who said the US would not allow the borders of Europe to be redrawn at the barrel of a gun.

Psaki confirmed that the US didn't make a decision yesterday on supplying weapons to Ukraine. She called to use the term “defensive weapons” instead of “lethal weapons”, because Ukrainian troops defend their land.

Commenting on the visit of Russian president Vladimir Putin to Egypt and nuclear talks, Psaki noted that the US Department of State supported peaceful nuclear power programs if obligations to the IAEA were fully met.
