Biden's Foreign Policy Reset: Sanctions over Military Action in Ukraine
President Joe Biden promised during his campaign to focus on stable and ally-focused foreign policy, and the Russia-Ukraine crisis seems like an opportunity for him to focus on that tactic after last year's chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal.

Meanwhile, Biden has not deployed U.S. troops to intervene directly in Ukraine.

Why Putin Seems So Focused on Invading Ukraine
Russian President Vladimir Putin openly invaded the neighboring country of Ukraine on Thursday following weeks of overtures and discussions on keeping an incursion from happening. David Salvo, the deputy director for the Alliance for Securing Democracy, joined Cheddar to go into the Russian leader's motivations. "What I'm sure he understands is that his invasion of Ukraine in 2014 probably ended the discussion of Ukraine joining NATO, even if publicly we won't admit that, that's just the reality. And I'm sure that President Putin understands that," he said, noting that Putin could be using the taking of Ukraine territory as leverage to gain more security concessions from the West.
