US maintains pressure on Russia amid concerns of potential Ukraine invasion
| The U.S. is maintaining its pressure on Russia as concerns rise regarding a potential further invasion of Ukraine, but top officials on the left and right appear to be at odds over the most appropriate strategy to deter the Kremlin from further advancing on Kyiv.
Top U.S. and Russian officials are engaging in diplomatic talks in an effort to ease tensions, but no breakthroughs have been reached. The U.S. has rejected Moscow’s top demands — one of which is that Ukraine be barred from joining NATO — leaving the two sides embroiled in a stalemate. |
