Ned Price: “If we don't stand up, to what the Russians are trying, to do, in Ukraine, we will undermine that international system…”

The type of propaganda, the type of bluster that we're hearing, from the Kremlin, is deeply irresponsible.

We want to send a single, unambiguously clear message to the Russian Federation that this is unacceptable. This is something that we take very seriously.

We want to see accountability for the violence that has been inflicted on these Americans.

President Biden likes to say that big nations don’t bluff. President Putin now knows that the United States wasn’t bluffing.
