BRUSSELS. Nov 30 (Interfax-Ukraine) – U.S. Head of State Antony Blinken and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, on the eve of the meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the NATO countries in Riga, once again warned Russia about the inadmissibility of aggravating the situation in the border area with Ukraine.

"Any renewed aggression of Russia would trigger serious consequences," Blinken said at a press conference.

For his part, Stoltenberg told reporters in Latvia that "any future Russian aggression against Ukraine would come at a high price and have serious political and economic consequences for Russia."

He did not specify what NATO’s reaction would be in the event of an aggravation between Russia and Ukraine. "We have different options for the reaction," the NATO Secretary General said.
