'We've made it clear to the Kremlin that we will respond resolutely, including with a range of high impact economic measures that we have refrained from using in the past,' Blinken said. That remark appeared to echo a warning by Ukrainian President Zelensky issued over the weekend. He also cited 'evidence that Russia has made plans for significant aggressive moves against Ukraine' – including 'efforts to destabilize Ukraine from within.' 'In recent weeks, Russia has stepped up planning for potential military action in Ukraine, including positioning tens of thousands of additional combat forces near the Ukrainian border,' said Blinken, who meets Thursday with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. He also warns of 'high impact' sanctions if Russia invades.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken issued new warnings Wednesday about Russia's possible intentions in Ukraine – citing evidence of planning for 'aggressive moves' by Moscow against its neighbor.
