US President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson are “determined to continue to increase the cost” inflicted on Russia in response to the invasion of Ukraine, according to a statement released Monday by the White House after a videoconference between the four men. The very united front so far of the West in terms of economic sanctions seemed to crack on Monday on the question of an embargo on the sales of Russian gas and oil, an option that Germany in particular rejects.
The United States has also decided to send 500 additional soldiers to strengthen its presence in Europe. The military will be sent to Germany, Greece, Poland and Romania, a senior Defense Department official said in a conference call with reporters. Their task will be in particular to strengthen the protection of NATO airspace.
