LIVE: Freedom Convoy to Ottawa

"Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Wednesday that the United States has delivered written responses to demands made by Russia, saying it will be up to the Kremlin on how they want to proceed amid heightening tensions between Moscow and Ukraine. Russia had issued a list of demands in December, including a promise to not admit Ukraine as a member of NATO and to withdraw troops from the region even as Russia continued to amass troops near the Ukraine border, increasing fears that Moscow will order an invasion of its neighbor. Blinken said the administration is not releasing the document publicly because "we think that diplomacy has the best chance to succeed if we provide space for confidential talks."

Blinken said the document makes "clear" that there are "core principles" the United States is committed to defending, "including Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity and the right of states to choose their own security arrangements and alliances."

The delivery of the United States' responses to Russian demands comes just hours after six U.S. fighter jets arrived in Estonia, as part of the U.S. broader effort with NATO allies to support the Baltic Air Policing Mission as Russia continues to threaten invasion in Ukraine, United States European Command said Wednesday. As part of the effort, Biden is also considering deploying naval vessels for NATO allies who may feel threatened. Some equipment and troops in these proposed actions would come from Europe and some would come from the U.S."
