US President Joe Biden said an
alternative to tough sanctions that Washington has slapped on Russia would be
the Third World War.
"You have two options. Start
a Third World War, go to war with Russia, physically. Or two, make sure that
the country that acts so contrary to international law ends up paying a price
for having done it," Biden said in an interview with blogger Brian Tyler
Cohen. The video was posted on his YouTube page on Saturday, reports TASS.
The US president noted that no
sanctions are immediate. "But I think these sanctions, I know these
sanctions are the broadest sanctions in history, and economic sanctions and
political sanctions," Biden said.
"Russia will pay a serious
price for this short term and long term, particularly long term," the US
leader stressed.
On 24 February, Russian President
Vladimir Putin said in a televised address that in response to a request by the
heads of the Donbass republics he had made a decision to carry out a special
military operation in order to protect people "who have been suffering
from abuse and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years." The Russian
leader stressed that Moscow had no plans of occupying Ukrainian territories.
Its objective is demilitarization and denazification of the country.
When clarifying the unfolding
developments, the Russian Defense Ministry reassured that Russian troops are
not targeting Ukrainian cities, but are limited to surgically striking and
incapacitating Ukrainian military infrastructure. There are no threats whatsoever
to the civilian population.
A number of countries, including
the US, have declared tough sanctions against Russia. The US Department of
Treasury has announced sanctions against Russian President Vladimir Putin,
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu and Chief of
General Staff Valery Gerasimov.
