Prior to Sen. Joni Ernst’s appearance on CNN, Blinken dismissed her push for sanctions as a preemptive move against Putin.
Blinken said the US has ramped up its efforts to arm Ukraine with American weapons. He said America is also working with its allies to develop a united front against Russia and continued to hold out hope that the impasse can be resolved through diplomacy.
Blinken said high-level talks have already occurred between US, European and Russia officials over Putin’s demand for guarantees that Ukraine or other former Soviet states not be allowed to join NATO.“All of the things that we’re doing, including building up in a united way with Europe, massive consequences for Russia, is designed to factor into President Putin’s calculus and to deter and dissuade them from taking aggressive action, even as we pursue diplomacy at the same time,” he said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensk has repeatedly called for US assistance in helping Ukraine against Russia and has supported the use of sanctions.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, faced with the massive force across his country’s border, also urged sanctions to be imposed immediately.
