Psaki: Biden Has No Plans For Using Military To Evacuate U.S. Citizens Out Of Ukraine If Russia Invades
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed on Monday that Democrat President Joe Biden has no plans to use the U.S. Military to evacuate U.S. citizens out of Ukraine if Russia invades the country.
“If Americans are still in Ukraine, and things start happening with Russia, are they pretty much on their own?” a reporter asked.
“Well, we are conveying very clearly now that now’s the time to leave and that there are a means to do that,” Psaki said. “Of course, there’s commercial airlines, you can depart over land. There’s obviously the embassy there to provide assistance. And this is very similar to what we did in Ethiopia, Kazakhstan, and many other countries over the course of the last several decades. But there is not an intention or a plan for any military evacuation.”
