In a meeting with his Russian counterpart, Joe Biden will warn Vladimir Putin against using tens of thousands of troops massed near its border to attack Ukraine.

It has likewise queried Ukrainian intentions and said it wanted guarantee that Kyiv would not use force to try to retake Crimea — territory lost in 2014 to Russian-backed separatists — a scenario Ukraine has ruled out.

Ukraine's defence ministry on Tuesday accused Russia of deploying tanks and additional sniper teams to the front line of the conflict in eastern Ukraine.Ahead of his first direct talks with Mr Putin since July, Mr Biden discussed the sanctions plan with European allies, seeking a strong joint stance in support of Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty.

A separate source familiar with the situation said targeting Mr Putin's inner circle had been discussed but no decision made.Sanctions against Russia's biggest banks and curbing the conversion of roubles into dollars and other currencies were also being considered, another source said. Bloomberg reported the United States and European allies were weighing measures targeting the Russian Direct Investment Fund.

Don't you mean further invade? They've already invaded in 2014. Ie. Crimea and eastern Ukraine.

Ooooo careful, we're gonna sanction the shit out of you. Just like we did to North Korea!!

I doubt Putin would care as such a large nation has so much resources to sell to other nations it won't hurt them much at all if sanctions thrown on them

It's way past time to show some teeth to Putin.

Reckon Putin & Russia will be really worried. Just like a teddy bears picnic!

Putin is not afraid of sanctions

Kamala Harris hit by mass staff exodusReports of a toxic work environment have plagued US Vice President Kamala Harris ever since she arrived at the White House. Lol….ppl waking up!!! Maybe she’s the reason more people wish Mr Biden live long. Yet still no where near the turnaround the previous admin had. In his first year Trump had triple the turn over than previous admin (Obama) had. Reportedly the most turnover in over 100 years. Ironically that news was barely reported on by 'media'. How strange. How very strange.
