Joe Biden in an interview released Feb. 10 urged Americans still in Ukraine to leave immediately.
“American citizens should leave now,” Biden said in the interview, which aired on “NBC Nightly News.”
Russia is on the brink of invading Ukraine, U.S. officials have repeatedly stated. Russia has not ruled out invading its neighbor but has accused the United States of misrepresenting its position, and Ukrainian officials have also taken issue with the U.S. stance.
Biden made clear that, in the event Russia does invade, he will not send troops to evacuate Americans.
“No. How do you do that? How do you even find them?” he said. “That’s a world war when Americans and Russians start shooting at one another,” he also said.
