The United States does not recognize spheres of influence, seeing it as an idea that should have been retired after World War II, Secretary of State Antony Blinken told RFE/RL s Ukrainian Service while on a visit to Kyiv on May 6. While making his remarks in response to a question by Olena Removska on U.S. reaction to a recent warning by Vladimir Putin that the West should not cross Moscow s red lines, Washington s top diplomat also said that sticking to this concept was a recipe not for cooperation, but for conflict.
