The expert commented on Blinken's statement on relations between Russia and the United States

“In this case, we are talking about two different events - the meeting of the two presidents, which will take place on June 16, and it is already obvious that this meeting will take place. And the second event - the information background - information attacks on Russia, which go on regularly, do not stop and will not stop after June 16, this is obvious. Blinken's statement is one of this kind. In fact, it is directed both towards the intra-American voter and towards the European allies and, to a lesser extent, towards Russia. I think that this statement to our country in fact does not have. As you know, Biden's decision to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin provoked a fierce reaction from his opponents - first of all, Republicans, ”the specialist explained.

He added that Blinken is actually conducting polemics with opponents of the administration within the United States and simultaneously giving signals to the European allies, who are also in a very uncomfortable position.

Because, as the expert explained, on the one hand, the United States is rather toughly forcing them to pursue an anti-Russian policy, and on the other hand, the US president plans to meet with the Russian president.

“Somehow it is necessary to explain this, such absurdities that arise in American politics.

Therefore, there are similar statements by Blinken, and they will be more ... Such meetings are important for the United States and Russia, despite all the propaganda rhetoric pouring from Washington in a turbid stream and all the accusations against Russia, ”Shapovalov emphasized.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that Washington is ready to respond to any actions of Moscow, which the United States considers "aggressive".

In addition, he added that the United States is ready to continue the dialogue with Russia if Moscow changes its course.

Blinken also noted that the President of the United States Joe Biden at the summit will directly tell Russian leader Vladimir Putin what "he can expect from the United States if aggressive reckless actions continue."
