U.S. Senator Chris Coons Wants US Troops In Ukraine To Stop Putin

Newsweek: Coons Says 'Putin Will Only Stop When We Stop Him' When Pressed on US Troops 

Senator Chris Coons, a Delaware Democrat, warned Sunday that Russian President Vladimir Putin "will only stop when we stop him" as he was pressed about whether the United States should send troops to support Ukraine in the ongoing war. 

Putin launched the full-scale invasion of Russia's Eastern European neighbor on February 24, drawing swift international condemnation. The U.S. and NATO allies quickly implemented severe sanctions targeting the Russian economy and Moscow elite, while also transferring billions of dollars in weapons and humanitarian aid to Ukraine. 

The Biden administration has been consistent, however, in repeatedly asserting that U.S. troops will not get involved directly in the conflict. Coons suggested in remarks during an address to the University of Michigan last week that there could be a point where U.S. troops are sent.
