US President Joe Biden has said the United States will not send troops to Ukraine to defend against any possible new Russian invasion.

The American leader said this to reporters on December 8 after a video conference on December 7 with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.

Biden added that he had warned Putin that if Russia takes further military action against Ukraine - which US intelligence reports may be possible in the coming weeks - the United States and its allies will impose sanctions "which he has never seen."

The idea that the United States is going to unilaterally use force to counter Russia's invasion of Ukraine is currently not on the table.

“We have a moral and legal obligation to our NATO allies under Article XNUMX (Alliance Charter). It is a sacred duty. This obligation does not apply to ... Ukraine, ”Biden said, according to the White House transcript.

Washington has announced plans to supply Ukraine with more weapons, including Javelin anti-tank missiles, and other equipment.

In his own comments after talking with Biden, Putin reiterated Russia's intention to obtain legal guarantees about Ukraine's refusal to join NATO.

“We cannot but be concerned about the prospect of Ukraine's possible entry into NATO, because this will undoubtedly be followed by the deployment of military contingents, bases and weapons that threaten us,” the Russian president said.

Tens of thousands of Russian military personnel are now in regions near the border with Ukraine, which alarmed both Kiev and officials from Europe and the United States.
