WASHINGTON, Dec 5 — US President Joe Biden said Friday he would make it “very, very difficult” for Russia to launch any invasion of Ukraine, which warned that a large-scale attack may be planned for next month.
Biden told reporters in Washington he was putting together “the most comprehensive and meaningful set of initiatives to make it very, very difficult for Mr Putin to go ahead and do what people are worried he may do.” Reznikov said a “winter training period” had started in Russia and that Moscow had already launched exercises near Ukrainian territory.
“All our guys are ready to hold them back. This is our land, we will protect it until the end,” another soldier, Yevgen, 24, added. Despite increased contacts between the two rivals since Putin and Biden met for the first time at a summit in Geneva in June, tensions remain high. Moscow wants to see an end to Nato’s eastward expansion, after much of Eastern Europe joined the alliance following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
