Sen. Menendez: Certain Sanctions on Russia Can Take Place Even Before They Invade Ukraine

EXCERPT:

MENENDEZ: "Yeah, I agree with Senator Risch. Look, there are some sanctions that really could take place up front, because of what Russia has already done, cyberattacks on Ukraine, false flag operations, the efforts to undermine the Ukrainian government internally. Those are just some examples of sanctions that could take place now. But then the devastating sanctions that ultimately would crush Russia's economy, and the continuing lethal aid that we are going to send, which means Putin has to decide how many body bags of Russian sons and — sons are going to return to Russia, you know, the sanctions that we're talking about would come later on if he invades. Some sanctions would come up from for what has been done already. But the lethal aid will travel no matter what."
