HONOLULU (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken mentioned on Saturday the chance of Russian navy motion in Ukraine is excessive and imminent sufficient to justify the departure of a lot of the workers at U.S. embassy in Kyiv, which the State Division introduced earlier.

Talking at a information convention in Honolulu, the place he met together with his Japanese and South Korean counterparts, Blinken reiterated that the diplomatic path with Russia over Ukraine remained open and the best way to pursue that was for Moscow to de-escalate.
