The United States of America President, Joe Biden, has warned Russia’s Vladimir Putin against attacking any member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
TrackNews reports that Biden gave the warning during his first State of the Union speech on Tuesday night.
He stated that the US military will not engage Russian forces in the current battle in Ukraine.
According to the US president, the North American world power will be banning all Russian Airlines from its airspace.
“Let me be clear, our forces are not engaged and will not engage in conflict with Russian forces in Ukraine,” Biden said.
“Our forces are not going to Europe to fight in Ukraine, but to defend our NATO Allies – in the event that Putin decides to keep moving west. Every single inch.”
TrackNews reports that despite tough sanctions the Russia-Ukraine war has entered its seventh day.
Russia forces are still battling to get a hold for Ukraine’s second largest City and former capital Kharkiv, while also trying to capture its capital, Kyiv
However, Ukraine forces have put up a strong resistance with the help of weapons and aids from over 15 nations.
Calls by Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky for a ‘no flight zone’ was rejected as this would draw other NATO nations and the US into a direct battle with Russia which may spell doom for the entire world, going by Putin’s readiness to deploy nuclear weapons.
