‘Vladimir Putin will pay the price for Ukraine invasion; US forces will not engage in conflict’: Joe Biden

2 March 2022, 1:35 pm

US President Joe Biden on Wednesday vowed that Russia`s Vladimir Putin will “pay over the long run” even if he makes some gains on the battlefield in Ukraine. “While he may make gains on the battlefield – he will pay a continuing high price over the long run,” President Biden said in his State of the Union Address.

Accusing his Russian counterpart Putin of waging a “premeditated and unprovoked” war against Ukraine, President Biden said that the United States is ready to tackle the challenge posed by him. “Throughout our history, we’ve learned this lesson, when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos. They keep moving. And, the costs and threats to America and the world keep rising,” Biden said addressing the joint session of the Congress in his first State of the Union.
