Biden warns Americans in Ukraine to leave now
On the 10th local time, US President Biden issued the latest warning on the situation in Russia and Ukraine, calling on Americans still in Ukraine to evacuate as soon as possible.
Biden made the remarks in an interview with NBC host Lester Holt.
"American citizens should leave (Ukraine) now," Biden said. "We're not dealing with a terrorist group. We're dealing with one of the largest militaries in the world. It's a completely different situation and things can change in an instant. It's out of control."
When the host Holt further asked under what circumstances Biden would send troops to rescue American citizens, Biden responded: "There is no such situation. When the United States and Russia start firing at each other, that is the world. The Great War. The world we live in today is very different from the past.”
Recently, Ukrainian-Russian relations have deteriorated rapidly, and the two sides have deployed a large number of military personnel and weapons in the border areas of the two countries.
The United States, Ukraine and NATO allege that Russia has assembled a large number of troops near the eastern border of Ukraine and has the potential of "invasion".
Russia denied it, emphasizing that NATO activities threaten Russia's border security, and Russia has the right to mobilize troops within its borders to defend its territory.
