The U.S. must not use Ukrainians as a “tool for foreign policy“ in the conflict with Russia.
We’re joined now by Matt Duss, foreign policy adviser for Senator Bernie Sanders. He’s also a Ukrainian American. His father was born in Germany in a displaced persons camp after World War II after his family fled Ukraine.Can respond, first of all, just to the overall situation, then particularly to the U.S.
As for the U.S. response, I think we’ve seen, you know, even in the months and certainly the weeks leading up to the invasion, a very energetic diplomatic response from the United States to work with allies in Europe,allies, with allies in Asia, to prepare a sanctions response. I think that sanctions response has been extremely aggressive.
But getting to the second point: How does this impact Putin’s calculation, the Russian government’s calculation? That is a real — you know, that’s a question I have, as well. I think Putin has, unfortunately, laid out a number of very, very expansive goals and has not really left himself — I mean, it’s hard to see how he would climb down from the very expansive agenda he’s laid out.
And we should also be very mindful of the impact that these sanctions are going to make, not just on the regime but on Russian working people themselves.
