The US authorities believe that Russia, through its recent actions, launched an invasion of Ukraine. This was stated by the President of the United States Joe Biden.
According to him, by recognizing the LPR and DPR as independent, Vladimir Putin created a rationale for seizing more territory. “This is the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,” Biden said.
In addition, the US President announced the first package of sanctions and stressed that these measures will be tightened if the Russian Federation decides to escalate. Biden claims that Russia, recognizing the sovereignty of the LDNR, “cut off a big piece from Ukraine.”
Putin’s recent speech, according to the US leader, testified to the absence of any desire to conduct a dialogue. Therefore, the States will impose sanctions on Russian elites on Wednesday, and on VEB on Tuesday. In total, four blocks of measures are planned, including sanctions against Nord Stream 2 and the sovereign debt of the Russian Federation.
Joe Biden also stressed that the United States will strengthen its military presence in Europe to protect the Baltic countries, but do not plan to fight with the Russian Federation.
On the eve, we recall, Russian President Vladimir Putin, the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin and the head of the LPR Leonid Pasechnik signed documents on Russia’s recognition of the independence of the LPR and the DPR.
Today, the Federation Council gave Putin its consent to use the RF Armed Forces outside Russian territory.
