Ahead of the US-Russia talks, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke by telephone on Wednesday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.<\/p>\n
“I was assured of full US support for Ukraine in countering Russian aggression,” Zelensky tweeted afterward.<\/p>\n
Blinken also spoke separately to his counterparts from Britain, France and Germany on “coordination to deter any further Russian aggression against Ukraine”, State Department spokesman Ned Price said.<\/p>\n
The Biden administration has vowed to take all actions in lockstep with its European allies.<\/p>\n
Following the Geneva talks, Russian delegates will meet with delegates of the NATO alliance ahead of a meeting of the\u00a0Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, a key Cold War forum that brings together Moscow and the West.<\/p>\n
“We will determine further steps depending on the readiness of the United States and NATO\u00a0for substantive talks regarding our concerns,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters on Thursday.<\/p>\n
