WASHINGTON, Jan 3 — US President Joe Biden yesterday reassured his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky that Washington “will respond decisively” if Russia moves to invade its pro-Western neighbour, the White House said in a statement.
In his call with Zelensky, Biden also stressed Washington’s commitment “to the principle of ‘nothing about you without you,’” in an apparent reference to the need to include Ukraine in negotiations about its own future. Earlier this week, Biden spoke to Putin, the two leaders’ second conversation by phone in three weeks as tensions mount over Ukraine.
Psaki also said in yesterday's post-call statement that Biden reaffirmed “the United States’ commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.” Some 100,000 Russian troops are massed near the border of the country, where Putin already seized the Crimea region in 2014 and is accused of fomenting a pro-Russian separatist war which erupted that same year in the east.
