US Says ‘Nothing Will Dissuade’ It From Arming Ukraine

The United States will continue to pour weapons into Ukraine, despite Russia reportedly warning of “consequences,” State Department spokesman Ned Price told CNN on Friday.

Price told CNN that “nothing will dissuade” the U.S. government from funneling weapons to Ukraine. Earlier, Russia reportedly sent a diplomatic cable to Washington warning of “unpredictable consequences” if these arms shipments continue.
