Voice of America cites the Atlantic Council for hosting Secretary of State John Kerry at its two-day “Towards a Europe Whole and Free” conference:
In Washington, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry Tuesday called on Russia to leave Ukraine in peace. In an address to the non-governmental Atlantic Council, Kerry linked Moscow’s military presence in Ukraine to an attempt to change the security landscape of eastern Europe.
Kerry also called on other NATO countries to make “credible commitments” to increasing spending on the military alliance over the next five years.
