The official stated that USA has already imposed economic sanctions on some of the “puppets” the Kremlin has deployed in these regions, and warned that it would respond “quickly and severely with additional sanctions if Russia Go ahead with your plans.”

He also promised that Washington would continue to send military aid Ukraine to defend against the Russian invasion that began on February 24, and to investigate all human rights violations that took place during the war.
