Joe Biden Warns Russia Invasion Still Possible in Aggressive Speech Against Vladimir Putin
Charlie Spiering 15 Feb 2022
President Joe Biden on Tuesday delivered an aggressive speech against Russian President Vladimir Putin, warning him again not to invade Ukraine.
Biden acknowledged messaging from the Russian defense minister that they would send troops home from the border of Ukraine but said he remained skeptical.
“That would be good, but we have not yet verified that,” Biden said during a speech at the White House.
Biden also spoke directly to the people of Russia, repeating that the United States and NATO were not a threat.
“To the citizens of Russia: you are not our enemy, and I don’t believe you want a bloody, destructive war against Ukraine,” Biden said, noting the deep ties of “family history and culture” between the two nations.
The president recalled that the United States fought with Russia in World War II in a “war of necessity” but warned them against choosing to pick a fight with a neighboring country.
“If Russia attacks Ukraine, it will be a war of choice or a war without cause or a reason,” Biden said.
He warned Putin of widespread condemnation from Western countries of any decision on his part to attack.
