President Biden says the US is ready to give 'diplomacy every chance to succeed' in defusing the Russia-Ukraine crisis
President Joe Biden on Tuesday made an appeal for diplomacy to continue as the world watches to see if Russian President Vladimir Putin orders an invasion of neighboring Ukraine, but also warned that a Russian attack on Ukraine will"be met with overwhelming international condemnation."
In a speech at the White House, Biden said to Russian citizens that the US and its allies are not a threat to them and that there's"plenty" of room for diplomacy with Russia to avoid a conflict in Europe."The United States and NATO are not a threat to Russia. Ukraine is not a threat to Russia. Neither the US nor NATO have missiles in Ukraine. We do not -- do not -- have plans to put them there, as well. We're not targeting the people of Russia.
