U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken Meets With United Nations Leaders to Discuss Russia, Ukraine

According to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Russia is laying the groundwork to justify starting a war and preparing to launch an attack on Ukraine in the coming days. Yesterday at a United Nations Security Council meeting he urged Moscow to change course and detailed U.S. intelligence about Russia’s attempts to fabricate a pretext for an invasion in an attempt to ‘influence Russia’ to abandon the path of war and choose a different one. The United States says evidence at Ukraine’s border shows Russia is ‘moving towards’ invasion and is not withdrawing its troops despite claims from Moscow.
