Biden threatens US blacklisting of Putin
By EUobserver
US president Joe Biden said Tuesday "Yes, I would see that" when asked by reporters if the US would blacklist Russian president Valdimir Putin if he invaded Ukraine. It would be the "largest invasion since World War Two" and would "change the world", Biden said. The UK and US were also "in discussions" on disconnecting Russia from the Swift international payments system, British prime minister Boris Johnson also said Tuesday.
