Biden: The US is not looking for a war with Russia

In an article for The New York Times, US President Joe Biden said that the United States is not going to directly enter the conflict in Ukraine, as long as they or their allies are not attacked.

"We do not seek a war between NATO and Russia… Until the United States or our allies are attacked, we will not directly participate in this conflict, either by sending American troops to Ukraine or by attacking Russian forces. We do not encourage or allow Ukraine to strike outside its borders. We don't want to prolong the war just to hurt Russia," Biden said.

At the same time, the American leader noted that the United States will continue to "supply Ukraine with modern weapons, including Javelin anti-tank missiles, Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, powerful artillery and precision missile systems, radars, unmanned aerial vehicles, Mi-17 helicopters and ammunition."

In his opinion, Ukraine's negotiations with Russia have reached an impasse not because Kiev sabotaged the negotiation process, but because Moscow continues to conduct military operations in order to "take control of as much of Ukraine as possible."

Biden also commented on the general concern about the possible use of nuclear weapons. "At present, we do not see any signs that Russia intends to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine," the American president noted.
