USA WARNED
A severe answer to Russia if it crosses the Ukrainian border
The White House vowed Wednesday that any Russian movement into Ukraine would face "severe" retaliation, after President Joe Biden appeared to suggest that a small-scale incursion would be met with a lesser pushback from NATO.
"If any Russian military forces move across the Ukrainian border, that's a renewed invasion, and it will be met with a swift, severe, and united response from the United States and our allies," Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement as Biden's comments triggered a torrent of criticism.
Previously, speaking at a press conference, Biden said he was concerned things could very easily get out of hand because of the possible Russian actions at the Ukrainian border.
“I'm concerned about is this could get out of hand, very easily get out of hand because of the borders of Ukraine and what Russia may or may not do.” US president said.
Biden made the comments at a White House news conference marking the end of his first year in office.
