DAILY ON DEFENSE: • Pulling back or pulling a fast one? • 'Ready to follow the negotiating track' • 'An invasion remains distinctly possible'
The photos and videos on Facebook, Twitter, and the Russian Defense Ministry website show vehicle convoys and troop trains crossing the Crimean bridge, returning to their “point of permanent deployment.”
“I am referring to our proposals on European security, certain weapons systems, notably, intermediate and shorter-range missiles, and military transparency,” Putin said. “We are also ready to follow the negotiating track, but all issues, as we said before, must be considered in a package, without being separated from Russia’s fundamental proposals.”BIDEN: ‘I AGREE’: In a 10-minute address to the nation yesterday, President Joe Biden welcomed the diplomatic overtures but said the U.S.
“An invasion remains distinctly possible. That’s why I’ve asked several times that all Americans in Ukraine leave now before it’s too late to leave safely,” Biden said. “It is why we have temporarily relocated our embassy from Kyiv to Lviv in western Ukraine, approaching the Polish border.” In a brief appearance with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg this morning, Austin said the NATO alliance is stronger than ever and that he looked forward to rolling up his sleeves and getting to work.
JUST SAY ‘NYET’ TO PUTIN: Frustrated by their inability to get Democrats to agree to impose any sanctions on Russia before a possible invasion, Republican senators, led by Idaho Sen. James Risch, the top Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, have introduced their own sanctions bill. “The latest proposal by Republicans is largely a reflection of what Democrats had already agreed to in our ongoing conversations, building off of the ‘mother of all sanctions’ we initially proposed,” he said. “A partisan victory is not worth a message of division from Washington, which only benefits Putin.”
KURILLA NOMINATION ADVANCES: The Senate Armed Services Committee has voted to send the nomination of Army Lt. Gen. Michael Kurilla to get his fourth star and be commander of the U.S. Central Command to the full Senate. “I will not pretend this will be painless,” Biden said in his Tuesday address. “There could be an impact on our energy prices, so we are taking active steps to alleviate the pressure on our own energy markets and offset rising prices.”
“I would also like to note that we are ready to continue distributing gas through Ukraine even after 2024 when the current contract for the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine expires. Naturally, we will do this if there is demand from European importers, if it is profitable, and if Ukraine’s gas transport system is in proper technical shape.”
Scholz underscored Germany’s close economic cooperation with Russia and expressed the hope that it would continue. “We can bear responsibility for climate change only if we bear it together, and it is crucial that this issue remain important in Germany and Russia’s relations in the future, too,” he said.
