WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 – U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis on Friday said the U.S. will pursue diplomatic channels should tensions flare up over the Trump administration's recent decision to provide lethal weapons to Ukraine, Military.com reported.
"The bottom line is, we are engaged diplomatically in attempts to try to get Russia to live by the Minsk agreement and we will continue those efforts through our State Department who are actively engaged in that direct[most] take," Mattis told Military.com during a press briefing.
