The U.S. announced a new round of sanctions against Russia Tuesday as Russia evacuates its embassy in Kyiv and Ukraine declares a state of emergency.
Biden on Tuesday announced the repositioning of additional U.S. troops to the Baltics. Kirby said the approximate 1,000 members are already in Europe and being repositioned temporarily. He explained the goal is to reassure NATO Allies, deter any potential aggression against NATO member states and train with host nation forces.
As the briefing progressed, Psaki stated that the US believes Vladimir Putin has been caught off-guard by the west's response to Russia's military actions in Ukraine. "The president has been crystal clear and consistent: he is not sending US troops to fight in Ukraine. That has not changed," the White House press secretary said.During the daily press briefing, the State Department said a Russian invasion of Ukraine remains"potentially imminent," meaning it could start today, tomorrow or next week.
The U.S. remains ready to enact an escalating series of measures on Russia unless it changes course and proves it is willing to seriously engage in good-faith efforts and"change their posture," Price said. The U.S. is also concerned about the relationship between Russia and China and where the Chinese government stands in terms of Ukrainian independence. Price said China previously said national sovereignty is a fundamental rule countries should respect and has called on Russia to resolve the current issue peacefully.
