226 days of war in ukraine.

The Secretary of State of the United States, Antony Blinken, said this Thursday that his country is “prepared” to seek a diplomatic solution with Russia for the conflict in Ukraine, but regretted that Moscow is going “in the other direction”.

“When Russia seriously shows that it is willing to take the path of dialogue, we will be ready. We will be there,” Blinken said at a press conference in Lima, where he is on an official visit.

However, the leader of US diplomacy assured that “Unfortunately, at the moment everything points in the other direction.”

Blinken gave as an example the mobilization of reservists, the attempted annexation of Ukrainian territories and the nuclear threats of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“The fact is that Russia and President Putin have shown absolutely no interest in diplomacy,” reproached.

Instead, he asserted that both the United States and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have long said the war “can only be resolved through diplomacy.”
