The United States and NATO have no obligation to send troops to defend Ukraine in the event of a worsening situation, said US President Joe Biden, answering questions from reporters on the lawn in front of the White House before leaving for Missouri.
"We have a moral and legal obligation to our NATO allies, in case they are attacked, in accordance with Article 5 (of the NATO Charter), it is a sacred obligation. This obligation does not apply to NATO, that is, I mean Ukraine, "he said.
Earlier it was reported that the US head of state, in response to the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin about the concern about the movement east of NATO, promised to discuss this issue with members of the Alliance.
We remind you that the Presidents of Russia and the United States, Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden, held a video conference behind closed doors. The talks lasted two hours, and journalists were shown the first footage of the greetings. Nuland said Russia was ready to launch "almost all ground forces west of the Urals" against Ukraine. Biden outlined Putin's response to the United States' Russian invasion of Ukraine. Putin said Russia was "seriously interested" in receiving legally fixed guarantees to exclude NATO's eastward expansion.
