U.S. vows to prevent Russian "aggression"

The US Secretary of State says Washington will continue relentless diplomatic efforts to prevent what he calls the Russian aggression against Ukraine. Antony Blinken was speaking during a joint press conference with his Ukrainian counterpart, Dmytro Kuleba in Kiev. Earlier, the top American diplomat met with President Volodymyr Zelensky and once again claimed that Russia intends to attack Ukraine. Russia has vehemently denied the allegation and blames escalating tensions on Western weapons sales to Ukraine. For his part, Zelensky thanked the United States for increasing its military aid to his country.
