Blinken says U.S. has delivered response to Moscow's demands regarding Ukraine

Secretary of State Anthony Blinken says the U.S. has delivered a written response to Moscow's demands, amid Russia's military buildup near Ukraine.  

"There are important things to work with if Russia is serious about working with them, and that is up to President Putin and we'll see how they respond," Blinken said at the State Department Wednesday.

The response to Russia, coordinated with Ukraine and European allies, outlines concerns about the things which the U.S. and its allies believe Russia is doing to undermine security and stability, evaluates Russia's concerns, and includes the United States' own proposals for common ground. The U.S. response emphasizes Ukraine's sovereignty, while suggesting "potential for progress" in areas like arms control in Europe and ways to increase transparency and stability, Blinken said. The document responds to a list Russia's foreign minister gave the U.S. last week.
