Blinken confirmed the meeting with Lavrov on February 24

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken confirmed today that he would meet with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov on February 24 in an interview with Dozhd TV, which is listed as a “foreign agent” in Russia.

The US Secretary of State reiterated that Washington was ready to “respond” to Russian aggression if necessary, but assured that its goal was to find a diplomatic solution to the crisis.

Blinken also said it would be a disaster if he attacked Kiev, a city of three million people. However, he added, there would be casualties among Russian troops as well, as Ukrainians are reluctant to welcome Russian forces.
