Biden gave the warning during his first State of the Union speech on Tuesday, March 01, 2022.
“Let me be clear, our forces are not engaged and will not engage in conflict with Russian forces in Ukraine,” Biden said. “Our forces are not going to Europe to fight in Ukraine, but to defend our NATO Allies – in the event that Putin decides to keep moving west. Every single inch.”
He stated that the US military will not engage Russian forces in the current battle in Ukraine.
According to the US president, the North American world power will be banning all Russian Airlines from its airspace.
