Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby told ‘Fox & Friends’ on Tuesday that Russia is clearly “frustrated” with how its invasion of Ukraine is unfolding.
“We are not exactly clear what their end game is now, it’s just that we just know that the end game they started with 27 days ago they have been frustrated that they have not been able to achieve,” Kirby said.
Kirby also said the U.S. has seen increased naval activity in the northern Black Sea has Russia’s bombardment of Ukraine continues Tuesday.
There is “clear evidence” Russia has committed war crimes despite the fact Moscow remains heavily involved with the U.S. and other nations amid ongoing negotiations for a new Iran nuclear deal.
Spokesperson John Kirby was pressed on Russia’s involvement in the talks during “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday as Putin’s assault on Ukraine continues. Kirby said the administration is “involved in these talks” and wants to see a deal reached to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
“Russia is the aggressor here,” Kirby said. “And I think we have seen here at the Pentagon, we certainly see clear evidence that the Russian military is conducting war crimes. We think it’s important for the investigative process to continue. We’re going to contribute to that.”
“But obviously, relations with Russia are not at a premium, nor should they be given the unprovoked and illegal aggression that Russia has put on the people of Ukraine,” he continued.
