Backfiring Sanctions
- The Biden administration's actions, such as increasing sanctions and providing weapons, are aimed at punishing Russia.
- These actions are actually strengthening Putin's hand and making it more likely he'll remain in power.

- He acknowledged their existence, stating "they are what they are," and claimed their integration into the Ukrainian military.
