Attack on Ukraine will cost Russia dearly: Biden

 

On Saturday, February 12, US President Joe Biden spoke by telephone with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin about the Ukraine crisis. Biden once again warned Russia that it would have to pay an "immediate and heavy price" if the Kremlin launched a military strike on Ukraine. The Russian president has sharply criticized Western efforts to put pressure on Russia and plans for a military strike on Ukraine. Putin called the West's move provocative and speculative.

"The madness is growing," Kremlin foreign policy adviser Jury Oshakov said in a conference call after a telephone conversation between the presidents of the United States and Russia on Saturday.
 
Biden said President Putin could also face sanctions.
Tensions remain

Tensions between Russia and the West have been rising for weeks. More than 100,000 Russian troops are stationed on the border with its western neighbor Ukraine. The Ukraine conflict escalated when Washington warned that a "general strike" could take place at any moment and that Russia would aggressively occupy Ukraine. Across the Black Sea, it has launched its largest military exercise in years.

 

US and Russia: rivals but also need each other:

According to the White House, Biden told Putin by telephone that "if Russia invades Ukraine, the United States, along with its allies, will respond decisively to the Kremlin and thus make Russia it's own." The United States has said in a statement that it is ready to pursue a diplomatic mission with Russia over Ukraine. The United States and Russia have been at loggerheads since the end of the Cold War.
