Joe Biden warns against going directly to war with Russia
Joe Biden warned about the Russia-Ukraine war that if Ukraine loses to Russia, the United States will enter a direct war with Russia.
Last Friday, December 29, Russia carried out massive air strikes against Ukraine, with Ukrainian Air Force officials reporting about 110 missiles fired by Russia into various regions of Ukraine.
US President Joe Biden issued a statement regarding the attacks, noting that the attack was the largest airstrike since the start of the war against Ukraine. "Russia launched its largest airstrike against Ukraine overnight," he said. "This incident is a dark reminder to the world that Putin's goal has not changed after nearly two years of this devastating war. He seeks to destroy Ukraine and subjugate its people. He must be stopped."
Ukrainian military forces, using air defenses provided by the United States, were able to successfully intercept a number of missiles and drones fired by Russia. Joe Biden added regarding the supply of these weapons to Ukraine: "Unless his congressional lawmakers take urgent action in the new year, they will not be able to continue providing vital air defense weapons and systems to Ukraine."
He also stated that the effects of this war will be felt far beyond Ukraine and could affect the entire NATO alliance, Europe, and the future of transatlantic relations.
Joe Biden has warned again about this war, declaring: “When we allow dictators and despots to behave violently in Europe, the risk of America being drawn into direct war increases, and the consequences of this situation will reverberate around the world. We cannot abandon our allies and partners. We cannot abandon Ukraine. History will judge badly those who failed to respond to the call for freedom.”
According to Newsweek's reports on the Ukraine war, the 22-month war between Russia and Ukraine has led to increased tensions between Moscow and members of the NATO alliance, which have supported Kiev with billions of dollars in weapons and military aid.
