In a dialogue he called her Moscow US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, noting that the Russia-Ukraine war “It is not inevitable,” according to the BBC.
“There is nothing inevitable about the impending conflict and it can still be avoided. The road to diplomacy “It may be difficult, but it’s worth the trip.”
From the Brusselswhere he is, Austin said that if war breaks out, Vladimir Putin will take responsibility for the suffering and sacrifice that will follow, stressing that the United States and its allies remain vigilant and increase their preparedness.
“A peaceful outcome respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine represents the best outcome for both Ukraine and Russia, as well as for its people,” he said.
He added that if Putin was serious about reaching that kind of solution, then he would not find a “better or more serious interlocutor” than the United States and NATO. But if it is not, then “it will be clear to the whole world that a war has begun with diplomatic choices left on the table,” the retired general added.
