Biden vows Russia won't 'get away with' Ukraine annexation

The Hindu  

The United States and its allies hit back at Russia’s annexation of four Ukrainian regions on Friday, slapping sanctions on more than 1,000 people and companies including arms supply networks as President Joe Biden warned Vladimir Putin he can't "get away with" seizing Ukrainian land. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, echoing Mr. Biden, said the U.S. “unequivocally rejects Russia’s fraudulent attempt to change Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders.. “To date” he said, the U.S. has not seen that “Russia is actually doing anything that suggests they are contemplating the use of nuclear weapons.” "I can just tell you that we plan against every possible scenario, including this one.” Mr. Biden also pushed back against Mr. Putin's comments on Friday in which he accused the West of sabotaging Russia-built natural gas pipelines under the Baltic Sea to Germany. The White House said Sullivan had spoken with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg to highlight the U.S. and NATO’s “firm commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.” But the Biden administration isn't embracing Mr. Zelensky’s push for an accelerated path to NATO membership. Mr. Sullivan said the U.S. was focused on supporting Ukraine through “practical on the ground support.” He added that "the process in Brussels should be taken up at a different time.” Earlier, following Mr. Putin’s announcement, the White House along with the State, Treasury and Commerce departments had announced the new sanctions in a series of coordinated statements.
