The United States has warned that if Russia invades Ukraine, it will send more troops to Eastern Europe.
The United States issued the warning ahead of talks on Tuesday between US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
US government sources said:
If Russia invades Ukraine, the number of US troops in NATO military positions in the European region will increase.
In addition, the United States will impose tougher sanctions on Russia.
In addition, Adiban Biden clarified that there is a possibility of Ukraine joining the NATO alliance in the near future.
Before holding talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Joe Biden held talks with European leaders.
At the time, government sources said that all the leaders had agreed to act as the strongest alliance against Russia in the Ukraine affair.
Meanwhile, a statement from the US State Department stated:
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken talks with Ukrainian President Vladimir Selensky. At the time, the report stated that Blinken had assured Selensky that the United States would extend full support to Ukraine against the Russian threat.
In 2013, the Russian-backed then-President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych was embroiled in a major struggle with the European Union-backed opposition. Subsequently, she took refuge in Russia.
The pro-Russian clansmen in the east and south fought against the ensuing government.
With the help of the Russian army, they captured parts of eastern Ukraine, including Donetsk and Luhansk.
Russia then invaded Crimea, which was part of Ukraine, and annexed the peninsula.
In this context, Russia is concentrating large numbers of troops along the Ukrainian border. The United States and the West have feared that Russia is planning to invade Ukraine and annex it, as it did in Crimea.
U.S. officials say Russia plans to send 1.75 million troops to occupy Ukraine, and that 1 million Russian troops are already stationed in various Ukrainian border areas. Russia, however, has denied the allegations, saying “it is a matter of concern that Ukraine’s are concentrating forces near the area’s border control area.
In this context, the United States has warned that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine would send more troops to the Eastern European region.
