It is noted that during a video conference with a group of experts, the head of the State Department was asked whether the United States was ready to help Ukraine seize Crimea.

According to the publication, Blinken called Kyiv's attempt to seize control of Crimea a "red line" for Russian President Vladimir Putin that could lead to a massive response from Moscow.

“According to four people familiar with Blinken’s response, he said that the United States is not actively encouraging Ukraine to reclaim Crimea, but only Kyiv makes the decision,” the article says.

Earlier, the chairman of the movement “We are together with Russia”, Vladimir Rogov, said that the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine intend to make an attempt to cut the land corridor to Crimea.
