"We have the opportunity to sell more military equipment. This will be announced," Volker said at a short press conference, answering questions from journalists.
The United States has proposed to provide decommissioned destroyers to the Ukrainian Navy, as reported in Kiev. According to the special envoy of the US State Department, Congress will be informed about the first transfers in the coming months.
He also said that the US and European countries are discussing the possibility of introducing new sanctions or expanding the sanctions currently in effect against Russia.
