Linda Thomas-Greenfield: “This is inter-tribal and it's a clash of personalities.”

What they hope to hear and I think they will hear from President Biden is a reaffirmation of our commitments to the United Nations, our commitment to the U.N. Charter.

President Putin miscalculated. He miscalculated how strong our partnership with Europe (INAUDIBLE), and he miscalculated NATO.

So, now, let me be clear, the United States will never recognize any territory Russia attempts to seize or allegedly annex, as anything other than parts of Ukraine. We reject Russia's actions unequivocally.

They have been isolated in the international community. And this is a desperate action by a country that does not have confidence in itself.
