Blinken to Urge Troop Pullback in Meeting with Lavrov

RUSSIA
  • US Sec of State Blinken blamed Moscow for the slipping of the "Minsk agreements" on the settlement in Ukraine, promising in upcoming contacts with Russian FM Lavrov (tomorrow) to urge Russia to "withdraw the military from the border" with Ukraine.
  • As Blinken said at a press conference, the Minsk agreements are a diplomatic way to resolve the situation in Ukraine, but they are not being implemented because "Russia does not keep its promises."
  • According to him, Russia's actions towards Ukraine directly contradict the stability and predictability that the United States expects from Moscow. - RIA
