Russia faces economic sanctions after President Vladimir Putin authorised troops to enter the breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, although he has not provided a timeline for their deployment. US President Joe Biden has responded by stating that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is beginning; he added that it is a flagrant violation of international law. The White House’s deputy national security adviser Jon Finer has stated that Washington’s response will be "swift and severe", with the first round of sanctions already in place. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenber in turn says there is every indication that Russia is planning a full-scale attack on Ukraine.
