United States President Joe Biden said his administration has a «four-week window» to prevent Russia from invading Ukraine.
According to CNN, citing a senior official, Biden gave the US administration four weeks to prevent a Russian invasion of Ukraine. The president instructed his team to use all possible tools for this purpose.
The source said that the actions of the United States authorities are very deliberate. He noted that the US sanctions, which were imposed after the annexation of Crimea to the Russian Federation and the beginning of the conflict in eastern Ukraine, were aimed at restraining the medium- and long-term development of specific Russian companies.
The interlocutor of the TV channel specified that at the time Joe Biden was the Vice President of the USA, and the head of the White House Barack Obama rejected his desire to arm Ukraine and impose harsh restrictions on Russia. After becoming president, Biden wants to do things very differently. In particular, in the event of a Russian invasion of Ukraine, the new sanctions could deal a significant blow to the Russian economy and financial system, the source said.
