Speaking to reporters, Joe Biden said Russia would pay a "terrible price" and face catastrophic economic consequences if it invaded Ukraine.
He also said that a ground operation in the event of a Russian invasion of Ukraine "was never on the table", despite the deployment of troops to the countries of the NATO's eastern wing. USA would be required to strengthen their defenses.
"I have made it very clear to President Putin that if he moves to Ukraine, the economic consequences for his economy will be catastrophic." This happened in the Biden-Putin teleconference that lasted two hours and the American president told their counterpart that Russia's position in the world will change "obviously" in case it invades Ukraine.
