WASHINGTON, United States — US President Joe Biden on Friday vowed that Russia would pay a “severe price” if it used chemical weapons in Ukraine, while also pledging to avoid provoking Moscow into “World War III.”Biden reacted after Russia accused Ukraine and the United States of developing biological and chemical weapons — in what Western nations says is a ruse to lay the ground for Moscow’s own possible use of them in the conflict.
At the request of Russia, the UN Security Council is holding an emergency meeting Friday on the alleged manufacture of biological weapons in Ukraine. The United States, like other Western nations, is sending millions of dollars of weapons such anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles to Ukraine, as well as sharing intelligence.
