I understand that the U.S. doesn\u2019t want to hurt European economies, the U.S. doesn\u2019t want to risk direct military confrontation.But it seems clear that the sanctions that have been implemented so far have not immediately stopped Putin\u2019s advance, that the line that\u2019s being drawn right now is not likely going to be enough to stop him. So, what do you say to the innocent Ukrainian civilians who are saying, why has the West not directly intervene to save them from the slaughter?<\/p>\n<p>BLINKEN: Well, first, Jake, I\u2019m here in Europe working with NATO allies, European Union partners and others, working on, among other things, increasing even more the extraordinary pressure that\u2019s already been exerted on Russia, with unprecedented actions and sanctions that are having a crippling effect on the Russian economy, as well as additional steps that we can take to help our friends in Ukraine, including getting them even more assistance, on top of the historic aid we have gotten them to date and that has been effective. Vladimir Putin has, unfortunately, the capacity, with the sheer manpower that he has in Ukraine and the overmatch that he has, the ability to keep grinding things down, against incredibly resilient and courageous Ukrainians. And I think we have to be prepared for this to last for some time. But just winning a battle is not winning the war. Taking a city does not mean he\u2019s taking the hearts and minds of the Ukrainian people. On the contrary, he is destined to lose. The Ukrainian people have demonstrated that they will not allow themselves to be subjugated to Vladimir Putin or to Russia\u2019s rule. But it could take \u2014 it could take some time. And, meanwhile, the suffering is real. It\u2019s terrible. I have met with people who are refugees from Ukraine who have been forced to flee, women and children who are in neighboring countries, the men remaining in Ukraine to fight.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamkeyNEN\">@pamkeyNEN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday on CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union\u201d that\u00a0Russian President Vladimir Putin was \u201cdestined to lose\u201d the war with Ukraine.
