Tensions are rising between the US and Russia over Ukraine. In this situation, the two leaders of the two countries gave a stern warning to each other on Thursday. They talk on the phone for about an hour from 3.35 pm to 4.25 pm EST. At that moment, Joe Biden threatened Russian President Vladimir Putin. He said Russia would take “severe action” if it invaded Ukraine. Putin’s response is that if America does something like that, it will be a big mistake.
Biden and Putin have spoken by telephone before. But the situation has not been resolved. That same picture continued after Thursday’s phone conversation. Fighting has been raging in eastern Ukraine for the past few months between pro-Moscow rebels and government forces. In this situation, tensions between Russia and the United States have begun to rise. Putin has accused the Soviet Union of committing “genocide” in the eastern part of the country.
Meanwhile, the US president has already spoken by telephone with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss the next steps to prevent a Russian attack. In this situation, Washington and Moscow seem to be on the path of eternal enmity. It is as if the flames were ignited by the mutual warnings of the statesmen of the two countries.
