The White House said Tuesday that Russia is ready to attack Ukraine at "any point," upping its threat assessment ahead of a meeting between the top US and Russian diplomats.
Psaki’s characterization of the situation around Ukraine came as Secretary of State Antony Blinken was scheduled to meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Friday in Geneva. If President Vladimir Putin decides to launch an invasion of Ukraine, where Russia already has annexed Crimea and backs, pro-Russian separatists, in another region, then “severe economic consequences” will be imposed, Psaki said.Psaki blamed the Russian leader, saying “President Putin has created this crisis.”
Psaki stressed that this could include shelving the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline from Russia to Germany. The pipeline, which has been completed but not commissioned, is seen as an important part of Europe’s energy supply network, but also a crown jewel in Moscow’s export capabilities.
