[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken expressed confidence on the 24th (local time) that Russia will attempt to overthrow the Ukrainian government.


In an interview with a U.S. broadcaster on the same day, Secretary Blinken responded to a question about Russian President Vladimir Putin's ambitions.


He said, "President Putin has clearly expressed his desire not just to reassert influence over neighboring countries that were once part of the former Soviet Union, but to rebuild the Soviet empire."



He added, "The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) will continue to obstruct Putin's ultimate goals," and "NATO's Article 5, which considers an attack on an individual member state as an attack on all, will strongly block his path regarding threats beyond Ukraine's borders."
