Biden To Coordinate Further Sanctions With EU And NATO

WHITE HOUSE

White House Deputy Press Secretary Chris Meagher has delivered today's joint presser with NSA Jake Sullivan.

  • Sullivan: 'The president is heading to Europe to reinforce the incredible unity we have built with allies and partner in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. And to consult on next steps.'
  • Sullivan: Russia had three goals in Ukraine: 'To subjugate Ukraine. To enhance Russian power and prestige. To divide and weaken the West. Russia has manifestly failed to achieve these goals.'
  • Sullivan: 'The US has pursued three lines of effort. First, to help Ukraine defend itself by supplying weapons and military equipment. Second, to impose severe and escalating economic costs on Russia through the application of sanctions. Third, to fortify NATO and the Western alliance.'
  • Sullivan says Biden will tighten existing sanctions and join partners in imposing further sanctions. He says Biden will also announce further American contributions to the escalating humanitarian crisis in Europe.
