“What President Biden Must Say to Russia’s Putin”
The Biden administration is grappling with the increasing likelihood that Russia will invade Ukraine, as U.S. intelligence now points to the fact that Moscow has plans to move 175,000 troops as early as next year. When President Biden speaks to Russian President Vladimir Putin he is expected to lay out the U.S. concerns over this aggression and reiterate U.S. support for a sovereign Ukraine. Former State Department Spokesperson Morgan Ortegus joins to break down why sanctions may not be enough to stop Russia from moving on Ukraine, President Putin’s motives to invade Ukraine to reestablish his country as a superpower, and what U.S. involvement should look like if Russia does invade Ukraine.
