The United States is focused on providing Ukraine with everything it needs to defend itself and to have a strong negotiating position. John Kirby said that the war should end through negotiations, and the US will support Ukraine at the Ramstein meeting.

The United States is focused on making sure that Ukraine has everything it needs to defend itself and to put it in a strong position if negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow to end the war take place. This was stated by the White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby during a briefing on September 5, UNN reports .

“This war has to end through negotiations, we want to make sure that President Zelenskyy is in the best position to make decisions about what those negotiations will look like, and that's what we're focused on right now. 

We are absolutely focused on making sure that Ukraine has everything it needs to defend itself and to put it in a strong position if negotiations do take place,” Kirby said. 

He also added that this also applies this week, when the defense minister will meet at  Ramstein for another meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, where  coalition partners will again consider ways in which they can continue to support Ukraine.
