US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken told Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in a telephone conversation today that there is still room for a peaceful settlement of the situation around Ukraine and that Washington will follow the diplomatic path. This was reported in a statement published on the website of the US State Department.

“The Secretary of State emphasized that while further Russian aggression against Ukraine will provoke a swift, cohesive and tough response from the transatlantic community, we remain committed to the diplomatic path and believe that there is still room for a peaceful resolution of the crisis,” the statement said.

According to the statement, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry assured that a written reaction from Moscow within the framework of the security dialogue would follow in the coming days.

According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, during the talks, Sergei Lavrov stressed the need to continue joint work in the context of the proposals submitted by the US and NATO on security guarantees. Mr. Lavrov noted “the inadmissibility of aggressive rhetoric, pumped up by Washington and its closest allies.” He called for a dialogue on the issues raised by Russia “with an emphasis on the principle of the indivisibility of security.” The last telephone conversations between the politicians took place on February 12.
