Responsible way to resolve this crisis. an essential part of this is through implementation of the minsk agreements, the subject of our session today. there are a series of commitments that russia and ukraine made under minsk. the osce and partner involved as well. if russia is prepared to sit with the ukrainian government and work through the process of these commitments, our friends in france and germany stand ready to convene senior level discussions in the normandy format to settle these iss...

As i promised, will not move forward. as russia contemplates the next move we have our next move prepared as well. russia will pay an even steeper price if it continues its aggression including additional sanctions. the united states will continue to provide defensive assistance to ukraine in the meantime and will reinforce and reassure our nato allies. today in response to russias admission that it will not withdraw its forces from belarus, i have authorized additional u.s. forces and equipment...

Them are sticking with the traditional foreign policy kind of hawkish playbook when something like this happens, blame the democratic president, column, week say a lack of aggressive action invites this kind of behavior. but out on the road and the rest of the republican party, its a very different sort of situation. we see candidates for election who are running for the senate in 2022, j.d. vance in ohio, for instance, it is the says he doesnt care what happens in ukraine. a lot of this is driv...

Scheduled for thursday between secretary blinken and the russian foreign minister that is supposed to happen in geneva. so people will be looking to see whether or not that still goes forward. of course, here at the white house, theyre monitoring those moves very closely that weve not heard from president biden, we should note, in person on this yet. >> as you point out, the white house specifically said putins latest moves represent a blatant violation of russias international commitments. a bl...

The complete abdication of russias commitments under the minsk agreements is just the latest demonstration of russias hypocrisy. since the beginning of this russian manufactured crisis, moscow has insisted that only legally binding agreements could satisfy its security concerns but the minsk agreements now join a long line, many legally binding, that president putin has broken. these include the hensinki final act in which countries including russia pledged to respect integrity. the charter of p...

Commitments we made into nato. we still believe that russias place to go much further in launching a massive military attack against ukraine. i hope im wrong about that, but russia has only escalated its threat against the rest of ukrainian territory including major cities and including the capital city of kyiv. they are still well over 150,000 russian troops surrounding ukraine. and as i said, russian forces remained position in belarus to attack ukraine from the north. including offensive plan...

You have. it would be an enormous undertaking and i would think simply one that for good reasons we have real interest in ukraine, we should make commitments in ukraine and there also needs to be a ceiling on what were willing and able to do. im just thinking of 1994 when ukraine decided to give up the nuclear weapon for a russian guarantee they would respect the sovereignty and boundaries and borders of ukraine yet that wasnt even worth the paper it was printed on for putin. >> absolutely. neit...

Entered ukraine. thats not the case. this is going to be a bloody long term insurgency. there will be body bags returning to russia on a regular basis. it may be that as he gets closer to the day to decide to go in, he is getting a better idea of how bloody this will be for his own country. >> there was a piece over the weekend. she talked about how the west needs to completely rethink the way it engages with vladimir putin had a does not respect borders. he does not respect prior commitments th...
