LONDON, 18 January 2022, (TON): The State Department said “US Secretary of State Antony Blinken held a phone call with his Kuwaiti counterpart Sheikh Ahmed Nasser Al-Mohammed Al-Sabah.”
State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement “during the call, they discussed “Russia’s threats against Ukraine and the importance of dialogue to de-escalate the situation.”
The West has accused Russia of deploying tanks, artillery and about 100,000 soldiers on Ukraine’s war-torn eastern border in recent weeks, in what NATO says is preparation for an invasion.
Meanwhile, Blinken also said he looks forward to hosting the Kuwaiti minister soon in Washington for the fifth US-Kuwait Strategic Dialogue.
The fourth round was held in November 2020, where both government reaffirmed their shared commitment to promote regional stability and security.
