At a press conference on Tuesday (8th), White House spokesman Psaki talked about the preparations made by U.S. officials to prevent russian armed forces from "invading" neighboring countries.

"We are certainly prepared for a series of emergencies, we are working with European partners and other countries and engaging to prepare for this." "It involves the possibility of refugees; it involves the possibility of a shortage of gas or oil," she explains. ”

However, she declined to delve into what the Washington Post cited last weekend as a so-called U.S. "intelligence assessment." The assessment claims that the Russian "invasion" could have displaced millions of Ukrainians and led to the deaths of thousands of civilians.

According to the media, U.S. officials have informed lawmakers and European partners of the new forecast report, claiming that Russia has gathered more troops near the border with Ukraine and may soon launch an attack that could reach Kiev in two days, killing 50,000 people and as many as 5 million refugees fleeing unrest.

Referring to the hasty withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan last summer, Psaki argued that "it's really important to look at the two separately." Because, first of all, the U.S. military did not go to war in Ukraine for 20 years. This is a very different situation. ”

"With the build-up of Russian troops, the situation on the Ukrainian border is not the same thing as ending a war that has lasted 20 years," Psaki said. It's something that the president has been talking about for some time, and over the last few decades we've not only spent a lot of money, but we've also sacrificed the lives of American servicemen. ”

On Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that the White House had approved a plan by the Pentagon that would help thousands of Americans leave Ukraine if Moscow ordered an offensive. According to the media, about 30,000 U.S. citizens live in Ukraine.

For months, Western leaders have been warning that Russia may be planning to "invade" Ukraine, an allegation Moscow has denied. The Kremlin says the mobilization of troops on its own territory is an internal matter and has nothing to do with any other country. (Editor: SDY)
