Ukraine minister tells U.S. Blinken need to discourage Moscow from further escalation

Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba met his U.S. counterpart Anthony Blinken in Brussels on Tuesday, saying that the two parties needed to discourage Moscow from further escalation in Ukraine's eastern Donbass region, Kuleba wrote in Twitter.

"Good to be meeting my colleague and friend @SecBlinken in Brussels as Russia continues its dangerous buildup and belligerent rhetoric," Kuleba wrote.

"We need to discourage Moscow from further escalation, including by making clear that the cost of any new military adventure would be too high."
