The Human Cost Of A Russian Attack Would Be Enormous, According To Biden

According to US President Joe Biden, a Russian strike on Ukraine is "still very much a possibility," and the human cost would be "immense."

He added in nationally televised remarks that the US was prepared to respond severely to such a move.

According to Mr. Biden, Russia has amassed 150,000 troops on Ukraine's borders.

Russia has announced the withdrawal of part of its troops. It stated on Wednesday that military drills in Moscow-annexed Crimea had come to a halt.

"Units of the Southern Military District are transferring to their permanent deployment places after completing tactical exercises," the defence ministry said in a statement, without specifying how many troops were departing.

Military vehicles appeared to be crossing the bridge to leave Crimea in footage shown on official television.

Western leaders, on the other hand, are apprehensive, with Nato stating there are no signs of a de-escalation yet.

"On the contrary," said Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, "it looks that Russia's military build-up continues."

His statements, made before of a meeting of the military alliance's defence ministers, followed Vice President Joe Biden's comments on Tuesday, in which he stated that Russia's withdrawal "would be nice" but that it had not yet been verified.

"Indeed, our analysts indicate that they remain in a highly menacing position," added the president.

Ukraine also said on Tuesday that the websites of its defense ministry and two banks had been hacked. Although the reason is unknown, Ukraine has previously experienced large-scale attacks on its online infrastructure and has blamed Russia.

However, Russia's leadership has denied any involvement.

There has long been concern that, rather than launching a full-scale invasion, Russia could destabilize Ukraine through less obvious measures, such as cyber-attacks on important infrastructure. President Biden stated that the US would retaliate to any such action.
