The US administration has no intention to search for a diplomatic solution to the conflict in Ukraine and keeps sending weapons to the Kiev government, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said on Saturday, commenting on another package of US military aid.

"The United States goes on pumping its wards with new batches of lethal weapons. The allocation of such impressive financial resources for these purposes proves one thing: Washington does not intend to look for ways to a diplomatic settlement of the conflict," the Russian diplomat said in a statement, released by the embassy’s press service.

He went on to say that officials from the current Washington administration "have done nothing to bring the Zelenskiy regime to the negotiating table."
