General Philip Breedlove, NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe has told PBS news that he agrees with the new US Joint Chiefs of Staff Joe Dunford, who said Russia is a bigger threat to US state security than IS terrorism.

Breedlove made the remarks on Thursday (July 30) a day after the US Senate confirmed Dunford, who was commander of US Forces Afghanistan from February 2013 to August 2014, as Chairman of the influential military advisory council that advises the president on global security and military affairs.

Earlier in July Dunford told a Senate hearing that Russia's behavior was "nothing short of alarming".

"My assessment today, Senator, is that Russia presents the greatest threat to our national security." Dunford said.

Referring to Russia's war against Ukraine Dunford said without weapons to counter tank and artillery fire, Ukrainian troops would not be able to fend off "Russian aggression."

"From a military perspective it's reasonable that we provide that support to the Ukrainians," Dunford said.

Dunford may have been referring to the Javelin anti-tank missiles reportedly requested by the Ukrainian government.

US State Department: Russia and separatists will have to pay a high price| Ukrinform

KYIV, August 18 /Ukrinform/. US is concerned about the increasing intensity of firing by Russian-backed rebels in the east of Ukraine.

Spokesman of the US State Department John Kirby said this at a briefing, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.

"We are very concerned about the constant attacks by Russian-backed rebels in Ukraine, the number of which has increased sharply recently," he said.

He expressed confidence that Russia bears responsibility for the escalation of the conflict. "Of course, the separatists and Russia bear responsibility for the attacks, which led to the escalation of the conflict in August of last year," the spokesman of the State Department said.
