US will not send troops to fight in Ukraine

While Blinken and Austin's trip saw promises of fresh military aid and marked the highest-level visit by American diplomats since the war began, officials have stressed that it does not mean the US is getting directly involved, Qazet.az reports.

“The President has been very clear there will be no US troops fighting in Ukraine and that includes the skies over Ukraine,” a defence official told US media outlets.

“This visit does not portend actual involvement by US forces,” they added.
