WASHINGTON, April 5 ― More sanctions on Moscow, more weapons for Ukraine, and a probe into alleged war crimes by Russian soldiers: the United States is upping pressure on multiple fronts against President Vladimir Putin, officials said yesterday.
“Russia is repositioning its forces to concentrate its offensive operations in eastern and parts of southern Ukraine,” National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters. “Russia has tried to subjugate the whole of Ukraine and it has failed. Now it will attempt to bring parts of the country under its rule.
“You can expect further sanctions announcements this week,” he said, adding that “options that relate” to Russia's lucrative energy industry are on the table. For weeks, Zelensky has pleaded for arms able to hit Russian forces from a distance and to defend against Moscow's far stronger air force, navy and long-range artillery. He has repeatedly stressed a need in particular for fighter jets, tanks and anti-air defences.
