Measures have been announced, consequences threatened: US President Joe Biden will comment on the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
US President Joe Biden wants to publicly comment on the conflict with Russia over Ukraine this Tuesday. According to the White House in Washington, the President is planning a speech at 7:00 p.m. CET.
The White House had already announced that it would announce further measures against Russia on Tuesday. In the event of an invasion of Ukraine, Biden had threatened Moscow with massive consequences.
Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the independence of the separatist regions of Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine on Monday evening. The Kremlin chief also ordered Russian soldiers to be sent to eastern Ukraine. He is planning an invasion of Ukraine for the second time since 2014. The West accuses him of violating international law.
The US government has described Moscow’s recognition of the so-called Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics and the planned deployment of Russian troops in the eastern Ukrainian regions as “the beginning of an invasion”. The United States is ready to respond with additional sanctions and countermeasures as Russia moves towards invading Ukraine, US President Joe Biden’s Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer told CNN.
“An invasion is an invasion and that’s what’s happening here. But Russia has been invading Ukraine since 2014,” he said. When asked by the CNN reporter why he didn’t unreservedly describe Russia’s recent actions as an “invasion,” Finer said he couldn’t be more specific. “This is the beginning of an invasion.”
