US President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he believes Russia will move to invade Ukraine while continuing to warn his counterpart Vladimir Putin of devastating repercussions should he do so.
"My guess is he will move in. He has to do something," Biden said during a two-hour press conference.
Biden hedged his assessment, saying he does not believe the Russian president has made a final decision as to whether or not he will pursue a full-blown invasion of Ukraine but warned of what he said would be a coordinated US-European response that would far outstrip previous tranches of sanctions imposed on Moscow for past activities
"If they actually do what they’re capable of doing with the forces amassed on the border, it is going to be a disaster for Russia if they further invade Ukraine, and our allies and partners are ready to impose severe costs and significant harm on Russia and the Russian economy, and we’re going to fortify our NATO allies, I’ve told them, on our eastern flank," he warned.
