Nuland: in case of Russian invasion of Ukraine in the United States developed 18 action scenarios
US Deputy Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland said that Washington had prepared 18 scenarios for actions in the event of a Russian invasion of Ukraine. A representative of the United States Department of State spoke about this in an interview with the Financial Times.
The interlocutor of the publication stressed that she would not disclose the details of the 18 scenarios developed in the United States. “I will simply say that my allies and I are ready to quickly inflict sharp pain if Russia makes any [aggressive] step,” she warned.
At the same time, Nuland did not rule out that the sanctions from the US and European partners, which will be taken in case of undesirable actions on the part of Russia, may differ from each other.
Earlier, the Russian Embassy in the United States commented on the statements of the White House and the Pentagon about the allegedly impending Russian invasion of Ukraine and the search for a pretext for this. The diplomatic mission noted that representatives of the US administration describe in detail the scenarios of possible provocations and their dates, but do not provide evidence.
