The top diplomat of the US was actively involved in the formation of the Ramstein group, and then took part in the supply of weapons to Ukraine and the introduction of economic sanctions against Russia.
At the end of 2022, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley proposed that Kyiv negotiate with Moscow, taking advantage of its successes on the front, but Secretary of State Antony Blinken opposed and insisted that Kyiv continue the military operations after the successful Kharkov operation. This was stated in an article by The New York Times on Sunday, January 19.
“After the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan, some Republicans demanded Blinken’s resignation, recognizing it as a failure, however, at the beginning of a full-scale war against Ukraine, his “star time” came , Blinken gave a speech in Berlin in which he recalled “how Presidents John Kennedy and Ronald Reagan stood up to the Soviet authorities, and declared that the United States would once again defend the guiding principles of peace and security,” was written by edition.
At the same time, the Secretary of State actively participated in the formation of a coalition of about 50 countries that agreed to help the Ukrainians with weapons or impose economic sanctions against the Russian Federation.
The NYT points out that as the war progresses in 2022, Blinken himself is less of a peacemaker and more of a “military strategist,” but often speaks out against sending American high-powered weapons to Ukraine.
“In late 2022, when Milley proposed that the Ukrainian side take advantage of battlefield successes and begin peace negotiations, Blinken insisted that the fight should continue,” the newspaper wrote.
We remind you that on January 20 at 12:00 pm Eastern European Time, the inauguration of the newly elected President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, will take place.
In the fall, he elected Florida Senator Mark Rubio to serve as Secretary of State.
Let’s remember that the former US President-elect Donald Trump delayed an early settlement of the war. His advisers now acknowledge that resolving the war will take months or longer.
