US President Joe Biden condemned an "unprovoked and unjustified attack by Russian military forces" in a statement Wednesday evening following explosions in Ukraine.
"President Putin has chosen a premeditated war that will bring a catastrophic loss of life and human suffering," Biden said. "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."
Shortly before explosions began in Ukraine, Russian President Vladmir Putin called for Ukraine's "demilitarization" in televised remarks announcing a military operation.
The Republican-led House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on Thursday morning will send a letter to US Attorney General Merrick Garland referring a potential criminal case involving former New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo to the Department of Justice, alleging he lied to Congress.
