State Department: Russia must abandon new territories

The United States is trying to ensure that Russia goes to negotiations on settlement in Ukraine, abandoning its new regions, the head of the press service of the State Department Ned Price said at a briefing for foreign journalists.

According to him, the States drew attention to the Kremlin’s statement that he was ready to participate in the dialogue, but only if new territorial realities are recognized.

“This is a clear sign that Moscow has no genuine appetite to participate in dialogue and diplomacy that will lead to a fair and strong world. We ultimately hope to change these calculations, we strive to change these calculations, continuing to provide Ukraine with the necessary Military assistance, ”said Price.
