Washington, Feb 13 (EFE) .- The security adviser to the US government, Jake Sullivan, said this Sunday in a televised interview that the scenario of an invasion of Ukraine by Russia is something that can occur “at any time” and He pointed to the possibility of it happening very soon.
“We can’t predict the day exactly, but a Russian invasion of Ukraine could start at any time, including as early as this week,” Sullivan said in an interview on CNN.
The White House security adviser indicated that the analysis by US Intelligence of the positioning and maneuvers undertaken in recent days by the Russian Armed Forces determines that the possibility of an attack “very soon” on Ukraine is high. .
In another morning interview on CBS, Sullivan reiterated that in the event of a war between Russia and Ukraine, US President Joe Biden, a Democrat, has no intention of sending US troops to fight the Russians. .
Biden spoke yesterday by phone with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, and warned him that the US and its allies will quickly impose “severe costs” on Russia if it proceeds with an invasion of Ukraine.
The US president also indicated that although the US is prepared for the diplomatic channel on the situation in Ukraine, it is “equally prepared” for scenarios other than diplomacy, according to the White House in a statement.
The US president told his Russian counterpart that a Russian invasion of Ukraine would cause “widespread human suffering” and reduce Russia’s prestige in the world.
Biden will speak today by phone with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.
