President Joe Biden authorized a new round of sanctions and limitations in response to Putin’s war of choice against Ukraine.
The White House has purposefully designed these sanctions to maximize the long-term impact on Russia – and to minimize the impact on the United States.
President Biden has taken active steps to bring down the costs — and American oil and gas companies should not exploit this moment to hike prices just to raise profits.
Biden spoke to Americans from the White House hours after holding a virtual meeting with the leaders of Britain, Canada, France, Italy and Japan. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President Charles Michel, and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg also joined the meeting.
President Biden said Zelenskyy had reached out to him and asked Biden to call on world leaders to “speak out clearly against President Putin’s flagrant aggression,” the statement said.
“Tomorrow, I will be meeting with the Leaders of the G7, and the United States and our Allies and partners will be imposing severe sanctions on Russia,” he said. “We will continue to provide support and assistance to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.”
Statement by President Biden on Russia’s Unprovoked and Unjustified Attack on Ukraine
FEBRUARY 23, 2022•STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
The prayers of the entire world are with the people of Ukraine tonight as they suffer an unprovoked and unjustified attack by Russian military forces. President Putin has chosen a premeditated war that will bring a catastrophic loss of life and human suffering. Russia alone is responsible for the death and destruction this attack will bring, and the United States and its Allies and partners will respond in a united and decisive way. The world will hold Russia accountable.
I will be monitoring the situation from the White House this evening and will continue to get regular updates from my national security team. Tomorrow, I will meet with my G7 counterparts in the morning and then speak to the American people to announce the further consequences the United States and our Allies and partners will impose on Russia for this needless act of aggression against Ukraine and global peace and security. We will also coordinate with our NATO Allies to ensure a strong, united response that deters any aggression against the Alliance. Tonight, Jill and I are praying for the brave and proud people of Ukraine.
