The United States, after security talks with Russia, is awaiting a decision from Moscow on what path it intends to take in the situation around Ukraine. This was stated on Thursday by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken in an interview with NPR radio station.
"Russia needs to discuss all this at home. We are doing the same, "said the secretary of state. "<...> There are two paths and they can decide who to take." "There is a path to diplomacy and dialogue and we are committed to it, we believe that this is the best way forward, this is the most responsible path. "On the issue of resolving differences, as well as the situation in eastern Ukraine. On the other hand, if they choose confrontation, if they choose aggression, we are fully prepared for that." warned the head of US diplomacy.
The journalist of the radio station asked if this actually means that "the ball is currently in the field" of the Russian Federation. In response, Blinken said that Washington and Moscow are in the current situation "at the initiative of Russia." "In the end, we cannot choose [President Vladimir Putin] instead. We can only state very clearly what the consequences of his chosen course of action will be, "said the US Secretary of State.
