White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby sat down with FRANCE 24’s Washington correspondent Kethevane Gorjestani to talk about the war in Ukraine, the United States’ diplomatic relations with China after the latter sent a spy balloon over its territory, and why the Iran nuclear deal is currently off the table.
On the topic of the war in Ukraine, Kirby described the vicious fighting currently taking place in the Donbass region, and especially around the city of Bachmut, and said the US expects the Russians to make another offensive push in the south in the near term.
