Russia warning: US will sanction Putin if Russia invades Ukraine

The US will consider imposing personal sanctions on Russian President, Vladimir Putin if Russia decides to invade Ukraine

United States President Joe Biden warns of “enormous consequences” if Russia made a move on the nation.

The Biden Administration also confirms it has no intention of U-S or NATO forces entering Ukrainian territory.

The Pentagon has already moved to place over 8-thousand troops on “heightened alert,” ready for deployment if necessary.

It has also been reported Biden is considering deploying further troops if Russia does move forward with an invasion.

The Kremlin says it is watching the U-S military actions with great concern. However, as tensions continue to rise, the Pentagon stresses there is still time for diplomacy.

With fears a Russian invasion is on the horizon, the U-S State Department has also ordered family members of government employees at the embassy in Kyiv to leave immediately.

In an advisory, the department warns U-S citizens in Ukraine should be aware Russian military action would severely impact the embassy’s ability to provide assistance.

British Military action

The British government has confirmed it is willing to deploy troops to Ukraine if Russia decides to invade the nation.

Speaking to the House of Commons, Prime Minister Boris Johnson says his country will act swiftly to protect its allies if required.

The P-M has also confirmed leaders of the U-S, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and the E-U has also agreed to impose coordinated and severe economic sanctions, which are greater than any in the past.

Johnson warns “the freedoms gained in Europe since the fall of the Berlin Wall must be maintained”.
