The American president is aware of the situation in Ukraine, he is regularly reported on any incidents. The national security team confirms that Russia can launch an attack on Ukraine at any time, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said. In the near future, Biden will hold a meeting of the National Security Council on the situation in Ukraine.
Earlier, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken again threatened Russia with serious consequences in the event of an attack on Ukraine. In his opinion, the attack on Kiev, where almost three million people live, is a disaster, the Russians will also suffer from it, but Russia is going to attack Ukraine in the near future and is looking for an excuse for this. The politician urged Moscow to declare the absence of such intentions and proceed to a diplomatic settlement of the situation. At a meeting of the UN Security Council, the Secretary of State pointed to the “monstrous aggression” that Russia allegedly displays against Ukraine. Blinken believes that the situation around Ukraine and the conflict in the southeast of the country can be resolved only with the help of the Minsk agreements. But Russia does not comply with them.
Western politicians continue to stir up the situation in the east of Europe and assure that Moscow is allegedly preparing to attack Ukraine. The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, made a statement about possible sanctions against Moscow in the event of an attack on Ukraine. According to her, the restrictions may affect the energy sector and access to high technologies. The media do not stop coordinated work to exacerbate the Ukrainian crisis in the information space. On the main page of Sky News, an article was published with the headline “Up to 50 percent of Russian troops are at the border in attacking positions.” Meanwhile, NATO continues to strengthen the eastern flank.
