Putin declared on Tuesday that Russia would send forces to establish its sovereignty over the entire Donbass region of Ukraine. Two separatist governments dominate the region, but the Ukrainian government still holds some of the territory. In response to this, US Vice President Joe Biden announced new sanctions against Russian oligarchs and financial institutions. He also promised that the US government would work with Germany to stop the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project.
Former President Donald Trump was asked during an interview with a conservative radio show on Tuesday: "This White House is stating that this is an 'invasion'. That's a strong word. What went wrong here? What has the current occupant of the Oval Office done that he could have done differently?"
Mr. Trump told Clay Travis and Buck Sexton, "What went wrong was a rigged election and what went wrong is a candidate that shouldn’t be there and a man that has no concept of what he’s doing." Continuing his tirade, he said:
“„I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, 'This is genius.' Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine - of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that's wonderful. So, Putin is now saying, 'It's independent,' a large section of Ukraine. I said, 'How smart is that?' And he's gonna go in and be a peacekeeper. That's the strongest peace force. We could use that on our southern border. That's the strongest peace force I've ever seen. There were more army tanks than I’ve ever seen. They're gonna keep peace all right. No, but think of it. Here's a guy who's very savvy, I know him very well. Very, very well

During the press conference, Ms. Psaki was asked if there were any worries that Mr. Trump's remarks might make American public support for Ukraine a more partisan issue. The press secretary for the White House said:
“„You know, I think that's up to the members of the Republican Party to decide, to decide. There has been a long history, decades of history, which President Biden was a part of when he was chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, of standing up to the efforts of any country to seize the territory of another country, standing up for efforts by the United States to rally global support against inappropriate and illegal actions by another country.
