West to impose severe sanctions on Russia – Biden
United States President Joe Biden said on Thursday that Washington and “its allies and partners will be imposing severe sanctions on Russia” over its “unprovoked and unjustified attack” on Ukraine.
Speaking to his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky, Biden said he “briefed him on the steps we are taking to rally international condemnation, including tonight at the United Nations Security Council.”
Zelensky, in turn, asked Biden “to call on the leaders of the world to speak out clearly against [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin’s flagrant aggression,” according to the American president’s statement.
