Washington-Sana
US President Joe Biden announced today that his country will not participate in any hostilities in Ukraine, referring at the same time to the imposition of economic sanctions on Russia against the background of the Russian special operation in Donbass.
And the media quoted Biden as saying in a speech that the United States imposed economic sanctions on Russia and approved restrictions on exports to it, indicating that “four Russian banks will be added to the list of sanctions and that Russia will be deprived of more than half of its imports of advanced technological products, and that all Russian assets in The United States will be frozen.”
On the separation of Russia from the global banking transfer system “Swift”, Biden said that “the current sanctions may have a greater impact,” as he put it, adding at the same time that “the Swift option is still on the table, and that imposing sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin personally is still an option.” Also".
Biden indicated that Washington and Europe will continue to provide support to Ukraine, and that he ordered US forces to move east of Europe to support the "allies" and that he authorized the Pentagon to send more troops to Germany, noting at the same time that his country's forces would not participate in any hostilities in Ukraine against Russia.
The Russian Foreign Ministry had announced earlier that Moscow would respond strongly to the US sanctions imposed on it, and that this response would be thoughtful and sensitive for the US side, noting that the tools available to US foreign policies currently include only blackmail, intimidation and threats, and that Washington has become a victim of stereotyped ideas of a unipolar world. And its mistaken conviction that it is still empowered and able to impose its rules on the world order on everyone.
