US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said today that he did not expect significant progress in the US-Russia security talks to be held this week, but expressed hope that there would be areas in which the two sides could agree.
“I do not think we will see any significant progress next week,” Blinken told CNN.
“There is a way of dialogue and diplomacy to try to resolve some of these disputes and to avoid confrontation. The other way is that of confrontation and mass consequences for Russia, if it resumes its attack on Ukraine. “We are at a point to see which path President Putin is ready to take,” Blinken told CNN.
Any move to resolve the issues, he stressed, should be made on a reciprocal basis.
In an interview with ABC, the US Secretary of State also said that Washington was asking for clarification from Kazakh officials on why they had to call in Russian security forces to deal with the internal unrest, while complaining about the fire. without warning against the rioters, issued by the Government of Kazakhstan.
“The order to shoot without warning, as long as it exists, is wrong and should be canceled,” Blinken said.
