Asked if the U.S. prevents other countries from doing this, Kirby said "those are sovereign decisions that a nation has to make." At the same time, he added that the United States continues to stand by the position announced by President Joe Biden earlier.

"I can just speak for this sovereign nation [the U.S.] and this commander-in-chief. He's made it clear that we will not put U.S. boots on the ground [in Ukraine]," Kirby said.
