A senior state department official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP news agency that Mr Blinken will seek to offer Mr Lavrov a "diplomatic off-ramp" from the crisis during talks on Friday. The top US diplomat is also expected to seek to shore up support among Western allies to impose what officials called "massive consequences and severe economic costs on Russia" should an invasion occur.
If your anonymous “reporting” on Ukraine wasn’t such rubbish - and it’s junk journalism much the same (pretending to accurately describe such a serious situation) it would all be risible...
Stop the war mongering.
I still don’t believe Putin will invade Ukraine. Biden simply can’t look soft after the invasion. Germany’s resistance to tough actions against Russia will break.

The solution is simple, one of the two gas pipelines must work, that's all, there are no other solutions. Ukraine earns on the transit of gas through the territory of Ukraine, the whole problem. Is this problem worth a military conflict. Like Russia, Ukraine needs to develop the real sector of the economy, and not wait for manna from heaven.
