The US has accused China of attempting to surveil sensitive military sites via a balloon shot down off the coast of South Carolina, and Russia has accused the US of being the "primary source" of international tensions for supporting Ukrainian attacks on Crimea. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Kremlin spokesman Dimtry Peskov have both made comments in response to the situation, and the US has taken measures to protect the information. It remains to be seen how the two countries will move forward in the coming weeks.
