"It is definitely not worth evaluating the words spoken the day before as something separate from the integral policy of the American administration," Podolyak wrote in a WhatsApp message to Reuters.Biden predicted on Wednesday that Russia will make a move on Ukraine, saying Russia would pay dearly for a full-scale invasion but suggesting there could be a lower cost for a "minor incursion.
"What was important for Ukrainian society to hear? The fact that Western states have a common understanding that any negative scenario in relation to Ukraine or in general in Europe will receive a coordinated, sufficient and sensitive response," Podolyak said.
