After his critical 1-hour Ukraine meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Joe Biden made a statement.
In a written statement from the White House, Biden’s words were included that “the United States will respond decisively with its allies and partners” if Russia, which has increased its military build-up on the Ukrainian border, invades the territory.
Biden also warned that the second intervention in Ukraine would bring “quick and serious costs” to Russia. It was noted that Biden prioritized diplomatic initiatives to resolve the issue and displayed a clear stance that he and his allies were ready for other scenarios.
