If Russia acts aggressively, we will respond accordingly - Blinken

If Russia's actions are aggressive, the United States will respond accordingly - the US Secretary of State said in an interview with the BBC. Anthony Blinken described as the Kremlin's aggressive actions the interference in the US elections, a cyber-attack on American companies, and the arrest of opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

"President Biden has made it clear and repeatedly said that if Russia acts aggressively and recklessly, we will act accordingly. We would prefer a more stable and predictable relationship with Russia" he said.

Recall that the US Secretary of State is paying an official visit to Ukraine. In Kiev, the first US diplomat will meet with President Zelensky, members of the government, and representatives of the civil sector. The main topic of the visit is the reforms in Ukraine and the support of the United States against Russian aggression.
