Condemning Russia\u2019s \u201cpremeditated attack\u201d in Ukraine, Biden said that Russian President Vladimir Putin sought to shake the very foundation of the free world.<\/p>\n

He further said that the NATO alliance was created to secure peace and stability in Europe after World War II and the US stands with Ukraine in the ongoing conflict.<\/p>\n

However, Biden added that the US will not have boots on the ground in the ongoing war.<\/p>\n

Let me be clear \u2014 our forces are not engaged and will not engage in the conflict with Russian forces in Ukraine,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Biden clarified that the US troops were deployed to Europe not to fight in Ukraine, \u201cbut to defend our NATO allies in the event that Putin decides to keep moving west.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor that purpose, we have mobilized American ground forces, air squadrons, ship deployments to protect NATO countries, including Poland, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Biden also announced that the US has banned Russian aircraft from its airspace.<\/p>\n
