The President of the United States addressed the nation on the situation in Ukraine. He started as expected. He blamed the people’s republics for the aggravation of the situation in Donbass, while completely removing the blame from the Ukrainian side. They say that escalation was unprofitable for her, so she is not behind it.
Once again, he disappointed the Kiev authorities, saying that the United States would not send its soldiers to defend Ukraine.
Washington, according to him, allegedly has information that Russia is ready to attack Ukraine. But he made a reservation, first saying that it was about weeks, then he corrected himself, they say, it was about days.
He also talked about diplomacy. According to him, a meeting between Blinken and Lavrov is possible on February 24, but in the event that the situation does not escalate.
Also, the US President considers it not the wisest decision of his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky to take part in the Munich Security Conference, despite the threat of an escalation of the conflict in the country.
He ended with accusations: allegedly, the Russian president had already made a decision on Ukraine, meaning the escalation of the situation. But to a clarifying question, Biden replied that there is an option for diplomacy, that the path for diplomacy is open.
