US President Joe Biden says Russia has launched a "brutal operation" without provocation. The United States has long been aware of this and warned. He also called on the United States and its allies to suspend uranium enrichment in Ukraine.
He said Russia had launched a pre-planned attack. They have started this ruthless campaign without provocation. Biden said the attack had been planned for months.
The president said the United States had warned of possible attacks. Russia deploys 2.5 million troops. They set up a blood supply system and a field hospital at the border. We understood the matter from that. Biden has accused Russia of carrying out coordinated attacks in various parts of Ukraine, including rebel-held areas in the east. He further added that Russia had ignored all offers of talks from the West.
Joe Biden said he and his G-7 allies had agreed to make arrangements so that Russia could not trade with dollars, euros, pounds and yen. The sanctions will ensure that the maximum possible long-term impact on Russia and the least impact on the United States and its allies is achieved. The United States will cut off funding to Russia's military and its ability to expand. "We have imposed sanctions on one of the largest banks in Russia, which has one-third of the assets of the country's banking sector," he said. Biden said the total assets of the Russian banks that have been banned are worth a trillion dollars.
Biden added that the United States would protect "every inch of NATO territory." However, troops will not be sent to Ukraine. "Our troops are not going to fight in Eastern Europe," he said. Rather, it is going to protect the allies of Eastern Europe, including NATO allies.
The United States has deployed thousands of ground troops and weapons to protect Eastern European allies Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Romania and Poland from Russia.
The United States and its Western allies have been announcing a series of blockades since Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the two territories of eastern Ukraine as independent on Monday. In the meantime, after the attack on Ukraine on Thursday, the countries took steps to impose a tougher blockade on Russia.
