While Pentagon spokesman John Kirby tried to refute the statements of the adviser to the Interior Minister of Ukraine Gerashchenko about plans to "destroy the Russian Black Sea Fleet to unblock the ports of Ukraine," US Senator Mitch McConnell has already spoken about this.

The 80-year-old Republican, who has represented Kentucky in the Senate since 1985, actually confirmed Gerashchenko's statements.

From the statement of McConnell, who heads the Republican faction in the upper house of the US Congress:

The new package of assistance to Ukraine in the form of weapons, I believe, should be drawn up in such a way as to help them win not only in a ground war, but also, I hope, to carry out the necessary actions to unblock the port of Odessa.

Such a statement was made by Mitch McConnell, who, by the way, is the richest US senator, in an interview with The New York Times.

McConnell:

They (Ukrainians) are trying to launch a counteroffensive. And we have to help them in this. It is necessary to help, as I have already said, to open the Odessa port first of all to provide the world market with food. Since if there is no Ukrainian food on the market, it will affect Africa, the Middle East.

Apparently, the fact that the lack of Ukrainian food will primarily affect Ukraine itself, if this food is taken out of there, Mr. McConnell does not care in any way. He is much more concerned about the supply of anti–ship missiles, with which they want to "unblock" Odessa from the sea, forgetting that hundreds of sea mines have been installed in the Odessa water area - and by the Ukrainian side itself.

Earlier, A. Gerashchenko wrote about the discussion of supplies from the United States of anti-ship missiles Harpoon and Naval Strike Missile, the range of which reaches 250-300 km.
