US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that the United States, following security talks with Russia, is waiting for a decision from Moscow on which path it intends to take in the situation around Ukraine. It is reported by TASS.

“Russia needs to discuss all this at home. We do the same. There are two paths and they can decide which one to take.” “There is a path of diplomacy and dialogue, and we are committed to it, we believe that this is the best way forward, this is the most responsible way forward in terms of resolving differences and also the situation in eastern Ukraine. On the other hand, if they choose confrontation, if they choose aggression, we are fully prepared for this,” Blinken said.

He stressed that Washington is in the current situation "at the initiative of Russia."

Earlier, US State Department spokesman Ned Price said that Washington expects Moscow to reveal the purpose of the Russian army maneuvers near the Ukrainian border or completely stop the exercises.

According to him, the Russian Armed Forces pulled "about 100,000 soldiers" to the western border.
