On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared invasion on Ukraine, but stated that Moscow had no plans to seize the country. He stated that the military operation he announced was in reaction to threats from Ukraine and would strive to “demilitarise” Ukraine.
Large explosions were heard in the besieged country’s Kyiv and Kharkiv districts only moments after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched attacks on Ukraine.
President Joe Biden of the United States has slammed Russia for a “unprovoked and unjustifiable attack” on Ukraine, warning that the choice to launch a “military operation,” as Putin described it, will result in “catastrophic loss of life and human misery.” “World will hold Russia accountable,” Biden declared, adding that the US and its allies will “keep Russia accountable.”
In response to reports of explosions near the Russian border in Ukraine’s Dombass region, US President Joe Biden said, “This evening, I’ll be watching the situation from the White House and getting regular briefings from my national security team. In the morning, I’ll meet with my G7 counterparts… We’ll work with our NATO allies to coordinate our efforts.”
“President Putin has chosen a deliberate war that will result in a terrible loss of life and human misery,” Biden continues in a written statement. The United States and its allies and partners will respond in a united and decisive manner to the death and damage that this attack will bring. Russia will be held accountable by the rest of the world.”
