Sec. of State Antony Blinken is traveling to Ukraine, Germany, and Switzerland this week—a sign 'perhaps that diplomacy is not dead,' a senior State Department official says.
Ian Pannell reports from Kyiv on the heightened geo-political tensions arising from the potential threat of a Russian-led Ukraine invasion.Secretary of State Antony Blinken is traveling to Ukraine, Germany, and Switzerland this week - a sign"perhaps that diplomacy is not dead," a senior State Department official said Tuesday.
"This is an extremely dangerous situation. We're now at a stage where Russia could at any point launch an attack in Ukraine," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday -- a sharp rise in the United States' rhetorical warnings that Russian lead Vladimir Putin may attack his neighbor. Putin laid out his demands in two draft treaties last month, including that Ukraine be barred from joining NATO and that the Western military alliance pull its troops out of Eastern European member states. But for weeks, the U.S. and NATO have called those nonstarters, instead offering to negotiate on other issues like arms control or military exercises and threatening massive sanctions if Russia attacks Ukraine.
"This is neither an exercise nor normal troop movement," the senior State Department official told reporters."It is a show of strength designed to cause or give false pretext for a crisis as Russia plans for a possible invasion." Blinken and Lavrov spoke Tuesday and agreed to meet Friday in Geneva, where U.S. and Russian delegations met last week. Their meeting will be another attempt to deescalate tensions, but it's unclear what new ground there is to tread.
