- This is the second warning from the President’s senior adviser.
- Russia can attack Ukraine ‘any day’: US
- Humanity will have to pay a big price if the conflict starts – US
US President Joe Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Sunday that Russia could attack Ukraine “any day”. He said that humanity will have to pay a big price if the struggle starts.
This is the second warning from the senior adviser to the President. Earlier, US officials confirmed that Russia had collected at least 70 percent of its military equipment by the middle of the month.
According to US officials, the aim is to provide Russian President Vladimir Putin with an option to launch an attack against Ukraine. “If war breaks out, Ukraine will have to pay a huge human cost, but based on its preparedness and response, we believe Russia will pay a strategic price,” Sullivan said.
He did not directly mention reports that the White House has informed lawmakers that Russia may launch an attack on Kiev that could cause 50,000 casualties.
Sullivan said a diplomatic solution is still possible. The administration has warned in recent days that Russia intends to rapidly invade Ukraine’s territory. Biden administration officials said last week that intelligence inputs suggested the Kremlin had worked out an elaborate conspiracy to fabricate a story about an attack by Ukrainian security forces to give Russia an excuse to take military action against its neighbour. .
