That s the same title stalin used for his puppet regimes in the warsaw pact and there you re showing the signing of that. initial he he did that first and he signed another set of agreements about military cooperation with the two leaders. and? biden administration was responding to that act and then he escalated by invading and that s why they properly have change 234d way they re talking about it and i expect you re going to hear more about new sanctions when the president speaks here shortly. ambassador taylor, ukraine s foreign minister is in washington, meeting with sec reritary blinken. he tried to accuse the west of appeasing putin. ukraine wants strong support from the united states. for it s getting it. let s bow clear. the united states is strongly backing the president, it is strongly supporting the
Can do that anymore? it s going to be difficult. war is war. we need to be clear about that. when war happens, every day and ordinary people that live there will be impacted. it s important to think about president biden is also dealing with a coalition, folks, that are impacting the kinds of decisions he makes. we were lauding him, celebrating him, for building that coalition to allow us to do what we have done so far, and that coalition also provides constraints, restraints and it s one thing to go it alone, but this is a war that impacts the way the west sees itself. i think it was clever that the biden administration went public with the intelligence it had gathered. and it made clear that putin was lying about what he was about to do and it created this gap, what he was doing, what the president
Action one way or another irrespective of what they do, but everything we ve done, the approach starts with coordinating allies and partners. all right. another way of ratcheting things up on the russians is zelenskyy suggested terminating russia s status. preferential trading status, most favored nation status. is that something we re considering? look, chuck, let me say this. there are a series of things that are out there that we re looking at to continue to ratchet up the pressure on vladimir putin for the purposes of getting him to end this aggression against ukraine, to stop this war, to stop the killing, to stop the suffering. and there are, as i said, extraordinary measures that we ve already taken. we said many months ago, when all of this started, and we warned that putin was threatening this aggression. we said if he pursued it, there would be massive consequences for russia, and we ve delivered on that promise. you see it again in everything that s happening to the russ
