Namely, the scale of verbal interventions that our colleagues in the State Department are resorting to on the eve of the upcoming meeting of the heads of the foreign affairs agencies of Russia and the United States in Geneva.

The US State Department published a material about allegedly Russian disinformation on the situation around Ukraine.
According to Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, the document contains "passages of simply inhuman lies."

Blinken said he did not expect breakthroughs from the upcoming conversation.
