Ukraine has pledged to the US that it will not use US-supplied weapons Attacking targets in Russia.

According to Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, the agreement with the United States does not apply to Crimea, which is “internationally considered a territory of Ukraine.”

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry insisted that Kyiv would never agree to a peace treaty with Moscow if Crimea and Donbas remained under Russian control.

Kuleba: Don’t fear the disintegration of Russia

“Ukraine will recover all its territories, including Crimea, some by military means, others by diplomatic means,” Kuleba said. He also appealed to the nations of the world not to fear the disintegration of Russia.

“Instead of thinking about how to help Russia survive and become a normal member of the international community, it is time to accept that this Russia cannot be a normal member of the international community,” he said.
