The European Union and the United States are preparing for large-scale sanctions against the Russian Federation in the event of fresh aggression against Ukraine.
Anthony Blinken, the US secretary of state, proposed two options for resolving the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
The announcement was made on Twitter on Sunday, January 9.
“There are two paths on Ukraine: a path of dialogue and diplomacy to resolve our differences and avoid confrontation, and a path of confrontation and massive consequences for Russia if it renews its aggression,” Blinken twitted.
As I explained to @JakeTapper this morning, there are two paths on Ukraine: a path of dialogue and diplomacy to resolve our differences and avoid confrontation, and a path of confrontation and massive consequences for Russia if it renews its aggression.

He also mentioned that the US and EU are prepared to impose large-scale sanctions on Russia if the present aggression against Ukraine continues.
“
Today, I reiterated to ABC’s @GStephanopoulos our strong preference for a diplomatic resolution on Ukraine and underscored our readiness to impose severe and massive consequences, in coordination with our European Allies and partners, if Russia renews its aggression,” Blinken wrote.
