President Biden was expected to announce new economic sanctions targeting Russia on Tuesday after Russian President Vladimir Putin deployed troops to two pro-Moscow separatist areas of eastern Ukraine.

Following the announcement, Putin signed a decree ordering Russian “peacekeeping” forces into the region in what US officials fear is a prelude to a large-scale war.
