US President Joe Biden, in an interview with NBC, made clear his refusal to send US troops to Ukraine.
According to him, if a conflict begins between the United States and Russia, it will lead to a new world war. The President of the United States stressed that the authorities would not, under any circumstances, send American forces to Ukraine, including to evacuate its citizens.
In response to a question about the circumstances in which the United States will send troops to Ukraine to evacuate Americans.
He replied, “There is no such scenario. This is a world war, when the Americans and the Russians start shooting at each other.”
According to the US president, Russian President Vladimir Putin is “smart enough” to avoid actions that would harm the US side in the event of a sharp escalation over Ukraine.
Biden also urged Americans to leave Ukraine now because of the potential for an escalation of the conflict.
American citizens must leave now. It is different from dealing with a terrorist organization. “We are dealing with one of the largest armies in the world,” the US president said.
Earlier, the US State Department issued a statement recommending that Americans begin to leave Ukraine now, using commercial or other means of transportation available to individuals.
