Democrats in the U.S. Senate have introduced a bill to sanction high-ranking Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin, in the event that Moscow launches military action against Ukraine.

The Kremlin also gave a bleak assessment of Russia's security talks with the United States and NATO this week, describing them as "unsuccessful" and saying there was disagreement on fundamental issues.
