Antony Blinken says Russia ‘failed’ in its goal to subjugate Ukraine

Just hours after a covert meeting in Kyiv, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken declared that Russia’s efforts to take over Russia and strip away its independence have “failed.”

“When it comes to Russia’s war aims, Russia is failing. Ukraine is succeeding,” Blinken told reporters in Poland Monday. “Russia has sought as its principal aim to totally subjugate Ukraine, to take away its sovereignty, to take away its independence. That has failed.

“We don’t know how the rest of this war will unfold, but we do know that a sovereign independent Ukraine will be around a lot longer than Vladimir Putin is on the scene.”
