Note on Secretary Blinken’s call with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba
In a call last night with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba, Secretary Blinken noted that the White House has taken initial steps in response Russia’s recognition of the purported “independence” of the so-called republics controlled by Russian proxy authorities in eastern Ukraine, and that additional steps will be forthcoming. Secretary Blinken is looking forward to meeting Minister Kuleba in Washington D.C. today to continue the discussion about these issues.
