« NATO DID NOT INVADE UKRAINE NOR GEORGIA » U.S SEC BLINKEN SAID---------------------------------------------
Secretary Blinken said that « Russia has raised issues of European Security in its public statement and the documents that i put forward, But Let’s be very, very clear about this: NATO did not invade Ukraine; NATO did not invade Georgia; NATO did not position forces in Moldova against the will of its people. Those are all things, among many others, that Russia has done in recent years…Over the pas two decades, it is Russia that invaded neighboring countries, interfered in other countries’ elections, used chemical weapons to attempt to assassinate opponents of the government, and done so on doreen soil, violated international arms control agreements, pulled back fro confidence-building and transparency measures, long agreed. And so we and our allies will absolutely be raise these and other issues with Russia in the days and weeks ahead."

"Russia has concern. We will listen. We have concerns and it’s imperative that Russia listen. And I hope - again, and I said that before- that we can find ways diplomatically through these conversations, both bilaterally between the NATO-Russia Council and the OSCE, to actually make progress. And of course there is the ongoing military occupation in Ukraine that has be dealt with. There’s a process for that too, the Minsk process. And there are many steps elaborated a long time ago, that if taken would resolve that peacefully and restore sovereignty to Ukraine, in Eastern Ukraine . We very much supply that process. We support the that Germany and France are trying to do to bring Ukraine and Russia together to advance it. And we’ll do whatever we can to facilitate that in the weeks and months ahead." U.S Sec Blinken concluded, over Ukraine-Russia tensions that need to be appeased, in the following weeks ahead. Source: U.S. Department of State
