Summary
President Biden announced new sanctions to punish Moscow and described what is currently happening in Ukraine as “the beginning of a Russian invasion.” U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken also canceled his meeting with Russia's foreign minister. CNN’s Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward is in Kyiv, Ukraine. She tells AC360 Ukraine’s first choice is diplomacy but if that doesn’t work they plan to “fight for every inch” of their land.
Plus, Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell blamed the Biden administration’s “weakness” for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Maggie Haberman is the Washington correspondent for The New York Times. She joins AC360 to discuss McConnell’s comments and the Republican party’s view of Putin.
