Biden calls on the world to punish Russia for causing ‘death and destruction’ in Ukraine
Russia has declared a “premeditated war” that will cause a “catastrophic loss of life and human suffering,” US President Joe Biden has said, following the announcement of a “military operation” against Ukraine.
In a statement published late on Wednesday evening, Biden called for the world to hold Moscow accountable for “the death and destruction”
“The prayers of the world are with the people of Ukraine tonight as they suffer an unprovoked and unjustified attack by the Russian military forces,” Biden said.
The US President’s response follows a declaration by Russian President Vladimir Putin that Moscow would take “decisive and immediate action,” in order to “demilitarize” and “de-Nazify” Ukraine.
Biden’s statement also follows reports from multiple media sources that explosions were heard in numerous Russian cities, including Kiev, Kharkov, and Kramatorsk.
