Ukraine foreign minister rebuts Biden "minor incursion" comment

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Dmytro Kuleba on Thursday responded to Mr. Biden’s comment on Wednesday, in which he suggested that Western nations weren’t in tandem on how to respond to Russian President Vladimir Putin in the event of a “minor incursion” on Ukraine. His statement was later clarified by the White House.

“Speaking of minor and full incursions or full invasion, you cannot be half-aggressive. You’re either aggressive or you’re not aggressive,” Mr. Kuleba said. “We should not give Putin the slightest chance to play with quasi-aggression or small incursion operations. This aggression was there since 2014. This is the fact.”

Mr. Kuleba added that he believes Mr. Biden is sincere in his interest to help and work with Ukraine.
