Washington, Jan 28: US Ambassador in Moscow John Sullivan on Friday described relations with Russia as “pretty bleak” and did not rule out their further deterioration over Ukraine tensions. “Diplomatic relations [between the US and Russia] are at a low point now, but I feel pretty confident in saying that there would be any further significant blow to what is already a pretty bleak diplomatic situation in relations between the United States and Russia,” Sullivan told an online briefing.
The diplomat insisted that a “Russian threat” to Ukraine is “very imminent.” Moscow says it has no intention to attack any country, noting that the allegations serve as a pretext for expanding NATO’s military presence and deploying more troops to Eastern Europe. Kiev itself has repeatedly downplayed the alleged risk of an “imminent Russian invasion.”
