Russia-Ukraine War News: In an address on Wednesday morning, US President Joe Biden said that Russian President Vladimir Putin had thought he could divide Europe but he was wrong.
In his State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday morning, US President Joe Biden said that Russian President Vladimir Putin had thought he could divide Europe but he was wrong.
"Putin's actions [in Ukraine] were premeditated and unprovoked... We are ready and we are united. Putin is now isolated from the world," he added.
Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of neighbouring Ukraine on February 24, leading to air strikes and heavy fighting across the country.
Following Moscow's invasion, Western allies led by the US imposed harsh sanctions on Russia to push the nation to halt its onslaught on Ukraine. This included locking top Russian banks out of the SWIFT network and a call to exclude Russian athletes from international sports events.
