Blinken says Ukraine is not a threat to Russia

Blinken delivered the warning to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at what he called a "candid" meeting in Stockholm and said it was likely that Presidents Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin would speak soon.

"I was very clear that there would be serious consequences for Russian aggression toward Ukraine, including as I've said high-impact economic measures which we have refrained from taking in the past," he told a news conference after his meeting with Lavrov.

The Kremlin has been talking up the possibility of a second Putin-Biden summit for weeks.

Their last one took place in Geneva in June, less than two months after Russia scaled back a previous build-up of more than 100,000 troops on the Ukrainian border.
