Blinken: Russia's offer of peaceful coexistence “a mockery”

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said March 8 that Russia’s call for a return to “peaceful coexistence” with the United States is “making a mockery of that word through its aggression on Ukraine.”

Speaking in the Estonian capital Tallinn, Blinken said “if Russia wants to engage in peaceful co-existence, which, of course in principle, we welcome, it has to start by making good in the word peaceful and ending the war, the aggression it is committing in Ukraine.”
