The United States could divert gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria to help them, said in a statement US President Joe Biden. It is noted that on Wednesday Russia cut off gas supplies to the two countries.
“We have worked with allies, and we can divert the sale of natural gas from these countries to Poland and Bulgaria,” he was quoted as saying by CNN.
“It simply came to our notice then “I can say right now,” he said.
He noted that despite Russia’s claims that it is a reliable source of energy for the world, “their actions against Poland and Bulgaria show the opposite.” This, Biden said, shows that Russia uses energy “not just as a commodity, but as a weapon “.
“We will not allow Russia to intimidate and blackmail to avoid sanctions,” he added.
Responding to Russian comments on the possibility of war in Ukraine escalating into a nuclear conflict if the West continued to support Kyiv, US President Joe Biden called it a “reflection of Russia’s failure.”
Biden said he was concerned about Russia’s comments. “Because they show the despair of Russia.”
“No one should make unnecessary comments about the use of nuclear weapons,” he said.
“We are ready for anything they do,” he said of the Russians.
“You will never succeed to dominate Ukraine “was his message to Vladimir Putin. “Aggression will not win, threats will not win,” said Joe Biden.
“All these actions are about the truth – investing in Ukraine’s freedom and security is a small price to pay for Russia’s aggression to reduce the risk of future conflict,” he said.
Urging Congress to pass the new $ 33 billion bill in Kyiv, Joe Biden said more funding was needed as soon as possible to ensure food security was restored in Ukraine and grain exports were restored.
Of the $ 33 billion, 20 billion will be for weapons, ammunition and other military aid8.5 billion will be provided as direct financial assistance to the Ukrainian government, and the remaining 3 billion as humanitarian and food aid.
