The United States of America has vowed to take more sanctions soon against Russia.
State Department spokesperson Ned Price said that additional action against Russia is coming “very soon.”
This was in response to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s request for greater G7 actions against Russia in response to the latest alleged war crime in Bucha.
“When it comes to our sanctions, we’ve always said that we will continue applying pressure on President Putin, on the Kremlin, on all of those around him including oligarchs and cronies who are empowering this war of choice against Ukraine, until and unless the Kremlin deescalates, until and unless the violence diminishes, and until and unless these kinds of atrocities come to an end. So I suspect you will very soon see additional pressure applied,” Price told MSNBC Sunday.
“When it comes to these images out of Bucha, we have already assessed that Russia’s forces have committed war crimes.
“What we’re doing, we are collecting information.”
Shocking images came to light from Bucha, Ukraine, Saturday by Agence France-Presse of at least 20 civilian men dead and lining a single street.
Asked about peace talks, Price said, “We have not seen any indication yet that the Russians are truly serious about de-escalating this war.”
