Blinken suggests the US could accept Ukrainian strikes in Russia with American weapons

The first of the two packages included $50 million to support Moldova's industry and government, as well as democratic processes. Blinken mentioned the energy and agriculture sectors and the need to combat disinformation. “What is so powerful here is the deep and rooted commitment to democracy in the face of bullying by Russia,” Blinken said.
