The United States will impose on Russia sanctions and economic consequences “the likes of which we have not looked at before,” if President Vladimir Putin invades Ukraine, the U.S. Department of Defense’s top spokesman said on Sunday.

“I think we’ve been very clear with Mr. Putin about the economic consequences that could come his way and the way the Russian people should he further incur... invade inside Ukraine,” Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby told Fox News Sunday.
