Russia will pay „a severe price” if it uses chemical weapons in Ukraine, the US president Joe Biden warned on Friday, and announced new sanctions against Russia. Joe Biden also undertook to avoid direct conflict between NATO and Russia, as this would lead to a third world war. In Moscow, the Russian presidency spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the hostilities in Ukraine will end when the West has taken measures with respect to Russia’s concerns regarding the killing of civilians in eastern Ukraine and NATO’s eastwards enlargement. Meanwhile, as the Russian troops that entered Ukraine on February 24th are attempting to surround Kyiv, Turkey announced relocating its embassy to Chernivtsi, some 40 km from the Romanian border. Turkey was among the last countries keeping their embassies in Kyiv.
