“I made it exceptionally understood if indeed he attacks Ukraine there will be serious results, extreme outcomes – – monetary results like none he’s consistently seen or at any point have been seen,” Biden told columnists at the White House.

However, Biden added that sending US troops to stand up to Russia was “not on the table.”

Adding to conciliatory tension on the Kremlin chief, new German Chancellor Olaf Scholz cautioned of “outcomes” for the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, a gigantic Russian venture to convey flammable gas to Germany.

Asked in a meeting with Die Welt TV whether he could envision utilizing the pipeline as influence to avoid a Russian assault on Ukraine, Scholz said his administration needs “the sacredness of the boundaries to be regarded” and “everyone comprehends that there would be ramifications assuming this were not the situation.”

The White House had effectively proposed following the video highest point that halting the Nord Stream 2 pipeline could be important for a financial reaction, albeit the issue is disputable in Europe, which depends intensely on Russian energy assets.

France’s unfamiliar service said in an explanation that Russia would confront “vital and huge outcomes.”

Putin, in any case, guarded Russia’s development of up to 100,000 soldiers to the boundary of Ukraine, portraying this as a safeguarding effort in the midst of fears in the Kremlin that the one-time Soviet republic is being maneuvered into NATO’s circle.

“Russia has a serene international strategy, yet has the privilege to guard its security,” Putin said at a news gathering with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

“We can’t yet be worried about the possibility of Ukraine’s conceivable admission to NATO, since this will without a doubt be trailed by the arrangement of proper military contingents, bases and weapons that undermine us,” he said.

US troops?

Biden said that notwithstanding monetary measures, another Russian assault on Ukraine would trigger a reinforced US military presence on the domain of existing NATO partners in eastern Europe.

“We would likely be needed to support our quality in NATO nations to console especially those in the eastern front. What’s more, I clarified that we would give a cautious capacity to the Ukrainians also,” he said.

The United States as of now works intimately with the Ukrainian military and has given huge number of dollars in weaponry. In any case, Biden said that sending US troops to guard Ukraine without NATO arrangement was precluded.

“The thought the United States will singularly utilize power to go up against Russia attacking Ukraine isn’t on the cards at the present time,” Biden said. “We have an honest conviction and a lawful commitment to our NATO partners under Article Five. It’s a holy commitment. That commitment doesn’t reach out to… Ukraine.”

“However, it would rely on what the remainder of the NATO nations were able to do also,” Biden said, apparently passing on the way to mediation open simply a break.

With respect to’s conflict that NATO venture into its previous Soviet fortifications represents a danger, Biden said Moscow and the significant NATO partners were working at an undeniable level on “whether or not we could work out any facilities as it identifies with cutting down temperature along the eastern front.”

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has said he is prepared to haggle with Putin, invited Tuesday’s video culmination.

“I believe it’s certain that the leader of the United States talked with the leader of Russia,” Zelensky said.

He is because of hold chats with Biden on Thursday.
