US Senator Jim Rish from Idaho said he favors escalating relations with Russia in order to increase arms supplies to Ukraine. The politician said this during a discussion on the possibilities of supporting Kiev, reports DEA News.
“I’m not a big fan of the discussion we can’t raise. If you don’t increase the tension, you will lose,” said Rish.
He also noted that he supports the idea of supplying Ukraine with all kinds of weapons, including F-16 warplanes. However, he believes that it is impossible to supply Kiev with nuclear weapons.
Formerly a group of Republican Senators applied To US President Joe Biden, with a request to provide cluster munitions to Kiev. According to them, the consequences of refusing to use cluster munitions are now manifesting themselves on the battlefield near Bakhmut (Russian name – Artemovsk) and elsewhere. The use of cluster munitions is prohibited by an international convention. Russia, the USA and Ukraine did not participate.
