KYIV (TSAT) - Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday strongly reacted over US President Biden remarks about Russian “small incursion” into his country.

Zelensky said there is no small nation or minor incursion

“We want to remind the great powers that there are no minor incursions and small nations. Just as there are no minor casualties and little grief from the loss of loved ones. I say this as the President of a great power of Ukraine,” he tweeted.

His reaction came after US President during his news conference on Wednesday suggested that a minor attack might bring a weaker response from the Washington and its allies, according to BBC.

However, later the White House Press Secretary issues a statement and said President Biden has been clear with the Russian President: “If any Russian military forces move across the Ukrainian border, that’s a renewed invasion, and it will be met with a swift, severe, and united response from the United States and our Allies.”

“President Biden also knows from long experience that the Russians have an extensive playbook of aggression short of military action, including cyberattacks and paramilitary tactics. And he affirmed today that those acts of Russian aggression will be met with a decisive, reciprocal, and united response,” its said.

Diplomatic tension grew between US and Russian over Ukraine issue as Moscow opposing any move of the NATO allies to include Ukraine as part of the western alliance.
