Putin thought he could eliminate Ukraine and divide NATO – Blinken

The US Secretary of State believes that the results of the Kremlin leader's actions are contrary to his expectations.

US Secretary of State congratulates Ukraine with the victory at Eurovision and commented on the current situation on the front of the Russian-Ukrainian war in his Twitter. Anthony Blinken has no doubt that Ukraine will be able to defend its independence.

The United States not only continues to support Ukraine in every possible way, but also defends “the principles of sovereignty and independence that are the foundation of global peace and security.”

Moscow's war was aimed at undermining the foundations of world security. The destruction of the sovereign country and unrest within the North Atlantic Alliance was a desirable outcome for the Russian leadership, but they failed to achieve it.

“President Putin has launched this brutal and unprovoked war, thinking that it can liquidate Ukraine as an independent country and divide NATO. Instead, it has only strengthened Ukraine's sovereignty and independence. NATO is stronger, more capable, more united than ever, “wrote Anthony Blinken.

Earlier, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, for the first time since the start of a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, had a telephone conversation with Sergei Shoigu .
