The US president said on Monday that there is "clear evidence" that Moscow is considering using chemical and biological weapons in Ukraine and warned that if this happens, there will be a harsh response from the West.
"His back is against the wall," Joe Biden said of the Russian president, noting that Russia recently accused the U.S. of keeping chemical and biological weapons in Europe. "That is simply false, I guarantee you," he told an event attended by American business leaders yesterday in Washington, D.C.
"They also imply that Ukraine has biological and chemical weapons on its soil. This is a clear indication that they are considering using both," the US president added, according to Agence France-Presse.
Biden reiterated on Monday that such an action would result in a harsh response from NATO allies, without going into further details. "Putin knows that there will be serious consequences because of NATO's united front," he said.
