The United States and its allies are pushing ahead with sanctions aimed at forcing Vladimir Putin to spend Russia’s money propping up its economy rather than sustaining its war machine for the fight in Ukraine, a top Treasury Department official said.
Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo, one of the main US coordinators on the Russian sanctions’ strategy, said in an interview that the goal is to make Russia less able to project power in the future.
Adeyemo discussed the next steps the U.S. and its allies will take to inflict financial pain on Russia – and the complications the war has on rising costs to Americans back home. Adeyemo said the U.S. and its allies will next target the supply chains that contribute to the construction of Russia’s war machine, which includes everything from looking at ways to go after the military devices that have been built to use not only in Ukraine, but to project power elsewhere.
Vladimir Putin vowed Tuesday that Russia’s bloody offensive in Ukraine would continue until its goals are fulfilled and insisted the campaign was going as planned, despite a major withdrawal in the face of stiff Ukrainian opposition and significant losses.
The Biden administration is preparing yet another, more diverse, package of military support, possibly totalling USD 750 million to be announced in coming days, a senior US defence official said. Members of the US Congress said the Biden administration and its allies will not stand by if chemical weapons were used in the Russian war with Ukraine.
Lawmakers monitoring developments during a trip to Poland said that the U.S. is investigating reports that a poisonous substance had been dropped in Mariupol. But they cautioned that determining the nature of the attack in the beleaguered port city could take time. We’re taking those reports seriously and I know the United States government and others are trying to determine if that did indeed occur, said Rep Jason Crow, D-Colo. Crow said the administration has been very clear that the use of chemical weapons will not be tolerated.
The Democratic lawmakers, all members of the House Intelligence Committee, are bracing for a potential long war in Ukraine. They said at a press briefing that Congress is looking at next steps in sending additional military and other aid to Ukraine.
We’re not in a position to confirm anything, I don’t think Ukrainians are either. But let me say that we had credible information that Russian forces may use a variety of riot control agents, including tear gas mixed with chemical agents, that would cause stronger symptoms to weaken, incapacitate … Ukrainian fighters and civilians, as part of the aggressive campaign in Mariupol. We share that information with … Ukraine and other partners, Blinken said.
