A warning to Moscow not to invade, but also not to dare any aggressive move in Ukraine was sent on Thursday by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
“If there is no doubt, Russia will pay a heavy price if it decides to invade Ukraine,” said the US president, as broadcast by Katerina Sokou.
Trying to clear the landscape after the doubts raised by Wednesday’s statement that angered Kiev, ), the American president pointed out that the invasion is only one of the scenarios of Russian aggression, and the West will respond in case of Russian attacks, either in gray areas or with paramilitaries. “The United States and its allies have many tools at their disposal to respond,” he said.
Kamala Harris also sent a message of determination to Russia, speaking on an American network. “If President Putin violates Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, it will come at a very high cost to Russia,” she said.
“Immediate steps” to escalate tensions on Ukraine’s borders have been demanded by Russia by German and German Foreign Ministers Antalya Berbok and US Anthony Blinken, who warn that otherwise there will be rapid and serious political and economic consequences. The two officials stressed once again that the preferred path is one of dialogue and diplomacy and made it clear that the US, Europe and the G7 share these views and will work together.
