The president of the United States, Joe Biden, has assured this Sunday to the president of Ukraine, Volodimir zelenski, that there will be a “firm response” if Russia launches an invasion on Ukrainian territory.
“President Biden has made it clear that the United States and its allies will respond firmly if Russia invades more Ukraine “, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki explained in an appearance to report on the telephone conversation between Biden and Zelenski.
Both Biden and Zelenski have expressed their support for diplomatic efforts such as the appointment of the Strategic Stability Dialogue scheduled for next week, the channel of the NATO-Russia Council or the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). “President Biden underscores the commitment of the United States and its allies to ‘nothing regarding you without you,'” Psaki said.
In addition, Biden has underscored the United States’ commitment to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and has supported confidence and tension reduction measures in Donbas, as well as active diplomacy to implement the Minsk Accords and in support of the Normandy format.
In the last weeks, the tension around Russia and Ukraine is at its highest, due to international concerns regarding a possible Russian invasion of the territory.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Joe Biden held a conversation on the matter on Thursday. Biden has threatened “unprecedented” economic sanctions if a hypothetical attack occurred, something the Kremlin has denied.
