Biden dismisses idea of ground troops in Ukraine

President Joe Biden on Saturday said the possibility of sending combat troops to Ukraine was never considered."Are you ready to send American troops into war and go into Ukraine to fight Russians on their battlefield?" He asked.The U.S. and its NATO allies are concerned that the movement of Russian troops and weapons to the border region with Ukraine may be a prelude to an invasion and have said they would inflict heavy sanctions on Russia’s economy if that happens.

Biden said he has made it clear to Putin that in the event of an invasion, “the economic consequences for his economy are going to be devastating. Devastating.”
