"American citizens must leave now" from Ukraine, which risks the invasion of Moscow .
President Joe Biden said this in an interview with NBC, arguing that the Russian one is a real threat right now: "It's not like dealing with a terrorist organization, we are dealing with one of the largest armies in the world. , it's a very different situation and things could go crazy fast. "
"If Putin is foolish enough to proceed (with the invasion of Ukraine, ed) - he added - he is smart enough not to do anything that would have a negative impact on American citizens". For the moment, the head of the White House has ruled out sending troops for an eventual evacuation of Americans: "It's a world war when Americans and Russians start shooting each other."
The Russian embassy in Kiev also issued a similar alert: "Do not travel to Ukraine due to increased threats of Russian military action," the embassy warned. "Those in Ukraine must now leave by commercial or private means. If they remain in Ukraine, they should exercise greater caution due to crime, civil unrest and potential combat operations in case Russia takes military action."
According to the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia can take place "at any time", even during the Winter Olympics in Beijing.
Meanwhile, a group of American strategic bombers B-52 arrived in Great Britain today to take part in NATO exercises, according to what has been announced by the European command of the US Air Force. The bombers - the exact number has not been revealed -, whose base is in North Dakota, landed at the RAF base in Fairford, 150 km west of London. The statement explains that the mission of the Bomber Task Force, "planned for a long time", aims to improve "the cooperative and operational capacity" among the allied forces.
