BREAKING: United States president Joe Biden, painting a grim assessment of the situation in Ukraine, is urging Americans in Ukraine to leave now because “things can go crazy quickly.”
Biden sounded this alarm in an interview with NBC’s Lester Holtz shortly before getting on a zoom call with NATO Allies in anticipation of a possible Russia invasion of Ukraine.
Asked in what scenario would he put American troops in Ukraine to rescue American citizens, Biden replied: “There’s not. That’s a world war. When Americans and Russians start shooting at one another, we’re in a very different world than we’ve ever been in.”
Biden went on to say “American citizens should leave – should leave now. We’re dealing with one of the largest armies in the world.”
The US State Department has recently been urging Americans in Ukraine to leave the country saying “there will not be the capability to evacuate US citizens” when war with Russia begins.
But the situation in Ukraine does not reflect what appears to be the alarm being sounded by the United States government.
In a phone interview, DNT correspondent Magdalene Nonkwia paints a rather calm Ukraine where the people are going about their normal business.
Asked if the news or talk around town indicated fear and panic of a Russia invasion, Nonkwia said: “never, I’m telling you that everything is normal in Ukraine. In my city and every other city there is nothing going on in the streets; there is no panic.”
The report makes Ukrainians some of the calmest people in the world with Russia known to have built up thousands of troops along the Ukrainian border.
