Biden to Ukraine: US will 'respond decisively' if Russia further invades

WASHINGTON, 04 December 2022, (TON): The White House said in a statement “US President Joe Biden told Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy the United States and its allies will "respond decisively" if Russia further invades Ukraine.”

The call came days after Biden held a second conversation in a month with Russian President Vladimir Putin amid tensions on Russia's border with Ukraine, where Russia has massed some 100,000 troops.

White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said in a statement following the call "President Biden made clear that the United States and its allies and partners will respond decisively if Russia further invades Ukraine.”

Biden and Zelenskiy discussed preparations for a series of upcoming diplomatic meetings to address the crisis, according to the White House.

Zelenskiy said on Twitter that they discussed joint actions on keeping peace in Europe and preventing further escalation.
