American officials identified three ways the US could soon act against Russia amid fears that the bloodiest days are ahead for the war in Ukraine
The urgent discussions underway among top aides to President Joe Biden and between European allies of the US came as efforts to evacuate civilians from Ukrainian cities were stymied by Russian shelling and as Ukraine's President pleaded with the West to do more.Top US national security officials said they were hurriedly seeking ways to further punish Putin while providing support to the outgunned Ukrainian military.
White House officials have said Biden is unlikely to take steps targeting Russia's energy sector without explicit support from Europe, which is far more dependent on Russian oil and gas than the United States. Speaking Sunday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said work was underway to reduce that dependence.
