The White House: Readout of President Biden's talk with fellow Western Leaders, " President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. held a secure video call today with President Emmanuel Macron of France, Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany, and Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the United Kingdom. The leaders affirmed their determination to continue raising the costs on Russia for its unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine. They also underscored their commitment to continue providing security, economic, and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine. In addition, they discussed their respective recent engagements with the Ukrainian and Russian presidents. "
Lets Get Real:
The WEST has gone far with sanctions and various companies cancelling their links to Russia. This HURTS the Russian people, and should get them out on the street to protest against Putin, the Russian President has had his forces arrest thousands of people, from OLD WOMEN to Children. The WORDS WAR and INVASION has been made illegal when discussed in the context of the Ukraine, teachers have been told what to teach when it comes to the WAR in the UKRAINE. The pressure is good and Putin himself has stated that the sanctions are akin to a declaration of WAR. The pressure in Russia needs to be increased, the WEST, in this case the US, UK, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands have to cut their oil and gas consummation from Russia, this will really hurt Russia, if Putin cannot supply money to his WAR then the Russians will need to retreat. Also the US and the West has to consider a NO FLY ZONE, who really thinks Putin will stop in the Ukraine if he wins, there is Poland next door and the Baltic States. Thus better for the West to take charge of this Ukraine WAR, dare Putin to shoot down a NATO Plane, he might back off, there are no guarantees in WAR, but worth the risk, if WW3 has already started then time to advance WESTERN interests and dare Putin to ACT.
