US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that no concessions will be made regarding Russia’s demands related to Ukraine

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the US made no concessions — but is open to dialogue — in response to Russia’s demands for the US and its allies to curb preparation for an invasion and for Ukraine and other ex-Soviet nations to be denied entry to NATO.

The United States delivered written replies to sweeping Russian security demands, a key step in a fragile diplomatic process as Russia staged new military drills near Ukraine.

Press Secretary Jen Psaki says Russia has to make the decision to de-escalate the situation in Ukraine now that the U.S. has provided its written response to Russia’s security demands.
