Rex Tillerson calls on Russia to stop aggressive actions against neighbouring countries. The US Secretary of State has spoken about the Kremlin policy and foreign challenges in the Atlantic Council. He has expressed regret that there is no working relationship between Washington and Moscow and has underlined that one of the main reasons for this is an invasion of Ukraine.

According to Rex Tillerson, the necessary condition for abolishing sanctions are the implementation of the Minsk Agreement and de-occupation of Crimea. He called on Russia to cooperate in resolving the Pyongyang crisis.
