The Biden administration has stated that the United States is ready to do whatever it takes to ensure the sovereignty of Ukraine if Russia were to make another move.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney has stated this in response to a CBS reporter Major Garrett question on what the US would do if Russia invades more parts of Ukraine.
“Well, I think it’s important to remember what we have said up until this point. There is a clear path that the Russians have available to them that would de-escalate the situation and bring their forces that are currently massing along the Ukrainian border back to their barracks. They’ll also return the troops of Ukraine who are being held prisoner, including pilot Nadiya Savchenko, release OSCE monitors who they have detained illegally and provide for safe passage out of Donetsk for the OSCE monitors who remain. So there is a way out here which we hope President Putin will take.” – JAY CARNEY, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
