Putin still has opportunity to end war against Ukraine – Blinken's statement
KYIV. Feb 24 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Russian President Vladimir Putin, who decided on a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine a year ago, can still end the war, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement published on the website of the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine on Friday.
“President Putin started this illegal war, and he has the power to end it. The United States stands strongly with Ukraine as it defends itself, and we will continue to do so until Ukraine’s sovereignty is respected and the people of Ukraine can shape their chosen, democratic future in freedom and peace,” the statement reads.
According to the Secretary of State, this war destroyed the international reputation of the Russian Federation, left it weakened and isolated, and also destroyed its economy. In addition, it has exacerbated the global food crisis, destabilized energy markets and undermined international peace and security.
“Ukraine’s fight and its people’s resolve and resilience have emerged as an inspiration to the world, showing they will not be cowed. Ukraine’s indomitable will has rallied the world to its cause, with people of conscience around the globe united behind Ukraine, and with repeated calls from the halls of the UN for Russia to end its war of choice,” Blinken noted.
