The United States will impose sanctions on President Vladimir Putin if Russia invades Ukraine. US President Joe Biden has given such a warning.
Joe Biden said the Russian operation in Ukraine would have dire consequences for the rest of the world. This will be the biggest attack since World War II, Biden said. This is stated in a report of BBC.
If Russia intervenes, the United States will be forced to strengthen its NATO presence in Eastern Europe. But Biden said there were no plans to send troops to Ukraine.
Meanwhile, the United States is in talks with various organizations around the world to increase supplies to Europe if Russia cuts off oil and gas connections. Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron has said that talks will continue with Moscow to resolve the ongoing tensions.
In addition, Western nations are stepping up military operations to warn of possible Russian attacks on Ukraine. The United States has more than 8,000 combat troops ready to be deployed in Ukraine to counter any attack. The U.S. Department of Defense is also on alert.
A Pentagon spokesman, John Kirby, said no directive had been issued. The defense minister has asked them to remain vigilant so that they can be deployed on very short notice.
Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has warned that Russia is plotting to occupy Kiev by launching a surprise attack. However he acknowledged that their numbers were not enough to defeat Russia.
In addition, NATO has announced that it will strengthen its defenses against Russian aggression in Eastern Europe. Several allied countries, including Denmark, Spain and France, have said they will send warplanes and ships to the region. Several countries, including the United States and Japan, have issued travel warnings to Ukraine and Russia, citing possible attacks. Ukraine, meanwhile, has sharply criticized the removal of staff from various embassies.
