Biden named a condition for considering sanctions against Putin personally A

US President Joe Biden has said he may consider imposing sanctions directly on his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in the event of a Russian invasion of Ukraine, REUTERS reports.

If an invasion occurs, the move would have "enormous consequences" for the entire world, Biden said. Earlier, he noted that Moscow's aggression would be "the most serious event that has happened in the world in terms of war and peace since the Second World War."

The American President reiterated that the United States is not going to deploy its forces in Ukraine

Last week, speaking at a press conference marking his year in office, Biden said Putin "has never seen sanctions" like the ones the US would impose if Russia attacked Ukraine. According to him, the scale of measures from Washington and allies will depend on the specific actions of Moscow.
