US President Joe Biden has stated that it is clear Russia is considering the use of chemical and biological weapons in Ukraine. Biden warned of severe Western response if Putin chose to do so, saying that the Russian president’s back is against the wall.
The accusation was recently made by Russia about the United States, saying that America is holding chemical and biological weapons in Europe.
‘Simply not true, I guarantee you’ said Biden. ‘They are also suggesting that Ukraine has biological and chemical weapons in Ukraine. That’s a clear sign he’s considering using both of those.’
The statements were echoing ones made by his administration earlier this month as well as Western nations. This is after Russian officials accused Ukraine of seeking to hide alleged an US-backed chemical weapons program.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki tweeted out saying that ‘now that Russia has made these false claims, we should all be on the lookout for Russia to possibly use chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine, or to create a false flag operation using them.’
Biden said that such an action would prompt a sever response from Western allies. ‘Putin knows there will be severe consequences because of the units NATO front’ he said. Biden also warned of a response if Russia launched cyber attacks against US critical infrastructure.
