The Pentagon is dissatisfied with the speed of evacuation of Americans from Ukraine
Oleg Kravtsov) – The United States is making every effort to remove its citizens from Ukraine
A PolitNavigator correspondent reports that Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said this at a briefing, answering the question about the evacuation of family members of American diplomats from Ukraine.
“This work is still ongoing... Obviously not at the speed that we are happy with. But we haven't lost focus - we haven't diminished our strong desire - to get them - to get them to safety," a US Defense spokesman said.
He found it difficult to say how long it might take for the final evacuation.
“I would be careful not to judge you. If we had complete control, this would have happened months ago. But I just don't have an estimate for you. I can only assure you that this has not been forgotten and that these family members made a deliberate, concerted effort to do the right thing and get to safety here in the United States,” Kirby responded.
Earlier, as PolitNavigator reported, The Pentagon did not rule out that US citizens from Ukraine will be evacuated by the 82nd Airborne Division.
