Putin has already lost in an attempt to "erase" Ukraine - US Secretary of State

Blinken also stated that he did not see "no signs" that the President of the Russian Federation is interested in "meaningful diplomacy". US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said the Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin had already lost his invasion of Ukraine. The official said this by American journalist Jonathan Karl with ABC in the program "this week," The Hill writes.

In addition, the American statesman noted that he is still convinced that Ukraine will win in a full -scale war, resolved by Russia. "The reason why I am very confident in Ukraine's final success is that they fight for their country, for their future and for their freedom, and Russians - no," said Blint It was Putin already lost in what he tried to achieve. He tried to erase Ukraine from the map and its independence, to subordinate it to Russia. It is already a failure.

" Blinken also stated that he did not see "no signs" that the Kremlin's head wants to participate in "meaningful diplomacy". "Tango needs two and so far we do not see the signs that Vladimir Putin is interested in meaningful diplomacy," he said. "If he does it, I think the Ukrainians will go into battle first and we will be behind them. They want this war to end, but it adheres to fair and long -term conditions that reflect Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

" Answering questions about increasing the number of attacks of Ukrainian drones on the territory of the Russian Federation, Blinken stated that the United States did not "encourage" and not "allow" the use of weapons outside the territory of Ukraine, but noted that the Russians "attack without analysis" throughout Ukraine. Blinken's comments appeared after the US Secretary of State arrived in Ukraine with an unexpected visit last week.
