[Washington, 9th Archyde.com]-US Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Brinken will meet with British Foreign Minister Truth in Washington on the 9th to set up a route to Russia for a “humanitarian corridor” to safely evacuate Ukrainian citizens from combat areas. The proposal was “ridiculous,” and acknowledged that evacuation routes need to be set up on a wider scale.
“It’s unpleasant to suggest that Ukrainian citizens seek protection from a life-threatening government,” Blinken said in a press conference after the meeting.
Foreign Minister Tras said that setting a no-fly zone over the humanitarian corridor in Ukraine “setting a no-fly zone could lead to a direct clash between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and Russia, and the British government. We are not considering it, “he said, adding that he is focusing on helping Ukraine defend its country.
On top of that, he said, “It is necessary to further strengthen sanctions against Russia,” and completely excluded Russia from the SWIFT (International Interbank Communication Association), an international remittance and payment system. He stated that he would aim to break the dependence on Russia and gas.
