On Sunday, the United States administration condemned the decision of Russian President Vladimir Putin to place Russian Nuclear deterrent forces on heightened alert. The White House also met growing demands from top GOPs to target Russia’s energy industry with new severe consequences.

The White House spokeswoman said that Putin’s aggressive decision to put Russia’s nuclear forces, including atomic weapons, on special alert is a part of a broader pattern of ‘unprovoked, unjustified escalation and manufactured threats’ from Moscow.

Psaki said in ABC’s ‘This Week’ show that’s indeed a pattern that they’ve seen from Russian leader throughout this conflict, which is engineering threats that do not exist to explain further hostility. She added that Americans and the world community should look at it through that prism. A senior US government official also told the reporters that Vladimir Putin’s action was yet further escalatory an entirely pointless step.
