SINGAPORE -- U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Saturday pinned the blame for the Ukraine war on Russian President Vladimir Putin, after a Chinese military officer suggested that NATO's eastern expansion was responsible for the conflict.
Austin pointed out that Putin made a choice to "unlawfully invade" a neighbor, during a question and answer session at the annual Shangri-La Dialogue defense forum in Singapore.
