This is the beginning of a russian invasion of ukraine, and hitting back at vladimir putin with sanctions on two russian banks with more than $80 billion in assets as well as some of the countrys wealthiest elites and their families. and warning, thats not all. >> if russia goes further with this invasion, we stand prepared to go further as with sanctions. who in the lords name does putin think gives him the right to declare new so-called countries on territory that belonged to his neighbors? th...

Consensus, to build resolve, to help our alliance for this coming offensive. and to take the appropriate action. i think there is more coming with regards to nato, our nato response likely an activation of the nato response force in the consensus is there. that will be a major signal. so those types of things are going to occur. but in terms of standard fair diplomacy, its dead. >> there are alternatives just like in the cuban missile crisis. we have these kind of alternative tracks -- track two...

Could be captured by russian forces within days. >> and weve continued to see russias progression even as weve seen resistance on the ground. russias military continues to advance toward kyiv so this is that real possibility. >> reporter: the two leaders speaking after zelenskyy publicly suggested his country is not receiving adequate support from the u.s. and that sanctions are not enough to stop russias intensifying invasion. >> translator: russia was hit with sanctions yesterday but these are...

That means force posture changes, not in response to russian aggression, but proactively. and same thing with regards to arming ukrainians. this has frankly been the biggest frustration with this administration is that all the actions seem reactive instead of proactive. as far as todays actions go, we take a look at the snapshot in terms of sanctions, those are meaningful sanctions. i think putin probably didnt necessarily believe that these kinds of sanctions were coming. there is unanimity of ...
