Antony Blinken

Put this in perspective, between the United States and other allies and partners, for every Russian tank in Ukraine, we have provided or will soon provide 10 antitank systems, 10 for every single Russian tank.

This is, in some ways, the most documented war in real-time that we`ve experienced because of technology, because of smart phones, because of the incredible courage of reporters who remained in Ukraine. But even so, there are things that…

One of these Achilles heels of autocracies is that you don’t have people in the systems that speak truth to power or have the ability to speak truth to power.

There is what Russia says, and there is what Russia does. We are focused on the latter. And what Russia is doing is a continued brutalization of Ukraine, and its people. And that continues as we speak.

The purpose of the sanctions in the first instance is to try to deter Russia.

the United States government assesses that members of Russia`s forces have committed war crimes in Ukraine.

Diplomacy requires both sides engaging in good faith to deescalate and I don`t see signs right now that Putin is prepared to stop.

Keep up the military pressure on Russia by continuing to arm the Ukrainians a lot.

We support Ukraine`s efforts to try to deescalate through diplomacy to reach a ceasefire, and of course, the withdrawal of Russian forces.

We believe China in particular has a responsibility to use its influence with President Putin and to defend the international rules and principles that it professes to support.

President Biden said that, in his opinion, war crimes have been committed in Ukraine. Personally, I agree. Intentionally targeting civilians is a war crime.

If China were to help Russia to either provide military aid or some other form of assistance, financial or in terms of other assets, that the U.S. would seek to punish China for that.

Could anybody trust him to keep his promises after all of his previous lies, deception and land grabs?

We believe China, in particular, has a responsibility, to use its influence, with President Putin, and to defend the international rules and principles that it professes to support.

we have a strong sense of what Russia could do next, which is opinion occluded, the use of chemical weapons.

Plots like that is what Secretary Blinken was warning about today.

Secretary Blinken also said that the U.S. believes they have a strong sense of what Russia could do next.

Intentionally targeting civilians is a war crime. After all, the destruction of the past three weeks, I find it difficult to conclude that the Russians are doing otherwise.

He has a clear plan right now to brutalize Ukraine. But to what end? Because when it comes to an end game, the big question -- the first instance is what is his endgame? We saw the failures of the initial military plan to quickly subjugate…

We’ve seen scenes like this before in Europe. Every Russian has lived or learned about the horrific siege of Leningrad during World War II... It’s shameful. The world is saying to Russia, stop these attacks immediately. Let the food and…

The president has been VERY clear about one thing all along as well, which is we are not going to put the United States in direct conflict with Russia, not have, you know, American planes flying against Russian planes or our soldiers on…

The U.S. is talking with its European allies about banning all imports of Russian oil in what would be a devastating blow to the Russian economy.
