The United States of America and its allies are considering supporting Ukraine by providing it with anti-ship missiles[/B], a senior US official said today.
"We have begun consultations with our allies on providing anti-ship missiles to Ukraine," the official said on the sidelines of NATO's extraordinary meeting on the war in Ukraine, which is being held in Brussels.
"We have started working"
"There may be some technical challenges in implementing this plan, but it is something we are consulting with allies on and have started working on," he said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who intervened at the NATO meeting via teleconference, did not call for his country's membership in the Alliance or the creation of a no-fly zone, according to the same official.
"In general, the atmosphere was pragmatic, resolute and with excellent consensus," he noted.
Meanwhile, the US official said that during the NATO meeting "many" leaders assessed that "China will have to assume its responsibilities to the international community" and that we should "continue to ask China not to support Russia in its aggression."
