This is stated in an open letter to Tillerson about the outcome of the outgoing year, promulgated on the website of the US Department of State.
According to him, the White House has long ceased to feed the illusion about the regime in Moscow. The administration is now ready for any variant of the development of events, as today relations with Moscow can be called not just complex but completely bad, Tillerson said..
The US continues to condemn the actions of the Russian Federation, which attacked its neighbors Georgia and Ukraine in the last decade. As a result, the order that was formed after the Second World War was violated.
The Secretary of State also believes that the position of Kurt Volcker should help restore the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country.
As reported in "URA-Inform", Tillerson previously discussed with Lavrov the situation in Ukraine.
