Antony Blinken: “The purpose of the sanctions in the first instance is to try to deter Russia.”

Today, Secretary Blinken said that, now, they mostly want to see is 'people being able to return their homes.'

The U.S. government was concerned Beijing was considering augmenting its support for Russia with 'everything from ammunition to the weapons themselves.'

Where we are our now is not in a good place. What we've seen in the last weeks and months is Iran is actually moving forward with this program.

The response we got was unfortunately not the yes that we were looking for. A yes that virtually the entire world has given.
