Details: When asked whether the US had been in contact with Ukraine after yet another Ukrainian strike on a Russian refinery in the city of Samara earlier, Miller refused to comment on any diplomatic engagement.
Instead, he noted that the US position he voiced reflected a "longtime policy" of the US, which was clearly conveyed to Ukrainian partners.
