President Biden told NBC News there are no conditions under which U.S. troops would be sent to evacuate Americans from Ukraine amid the conflict with Russia.

Instead, he warned U.S. citizens to “leave now.”

“It’s not like we’re dealing with a terrorist organization. We’re dealing with one of the largest armies in the world. It’s a very different situation, and things could go crazy quickly,” he said.

When NBC’s Lester Holt asked if there are any conditions under which U.S. troops would be sent to rescue Americans, Biden was firm: “there’s not.”

“That’s a world war when Americans and Russians start shooting at one another,” he continued. “We’re in a very different world than we’ve ever been."

The president also admitted he hasn't directly told Russian President Vladimir Putin to keep from harming Americans. Read more, see tweets, and videos here.
