Blinken added, in a joint press conference with British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, that “Putin is increasingly turning to a strategy of destroying population centers in Ukraine, and despite the tactical gains in seizing some Ukrainian cities, he is facing widespread popular opposition with his forces controlling those cities,” according to the agency.
He continued if his goal was to remove the current government and put in place a system that he liked, I think it was very clear that the Ukrainian people would never accept that”.
He pointed out “If the Russian president tries to impose order by keeping Russian forces in Ukraine, there will be a bloody and protracted chaos, which will cause constant suffering for Russia”.
