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
