Biden: U.S., allies to ‘respond decisively’ if Russia further invades Ukraine – By Darryl Coote (UPI) / January 3, 2022
Jan. 3 (UPI) — President Joe Biden told his Ukrainian counterpart that the United States and its allies will “respond decisively” if Russia further invades its Eastern European neighbor.
Biden made the promise to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy over the phone on Sunday, according to a readout of the conversation by White House press secretary Jen Psaki.
“President Biden made clear that the United States and its allies and partners will respond decisively if Russia further invades Ukraine,” Psaki said.
Psaki said Biden reaffirmed the United States’ commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity while highlighting efforts starting next week seeking a diplomatic end to the hostilities, including the bilateral Strategic Stability Dialogue between the United States and Russia, NATO-Russia Council meetings and talks at the the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
