May 13, 2022 (EIRNS)—The U.S. is not going to “gift” nuclear weapons to Ukraine. This came out during a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee yesterday at which Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Karen Donfried was among the witnesses. “The United States is not a party to this conflict,” Donfried said, adding that “the United States is providing security assistance and weapons to Ukraine, but there’s no question of the U.S. providing nuclear weapons to Ukraine.”
