An “unprovoked and unwarranted attack” by Russia against Ukraine. Thus American President Joe Biden according to whom Russian President Putin has “chosen a premeditated war that will lead to a catastrophic loss of life and human suffering”.
“The prayers of the whole world are for the people of Ukraine – he said in a statement released by the White House – who are undergoing an unprovoked and unjustified attack by the Russian military forces”. “Only Russia 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 incisive way. The world will hold Russia accountable,” she stressed.
Biden further explained that he had spoken with Ukrainian President Zelensky about the next steps of the US and allies against Russia, including “severe sanctions”. Zelesnky, the White House said, asked Biden to urge world leaders to “speak out against President Putin’s blatant aggression”. “We will continue to provide support and assistance – reads the note from the White House – to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people”.
The US president will speak to the leaders of the G7 and then to the Americans “to announce the further consequences” that the US and allies “will impose on Russia for this unnecessary act of aggression against Ukraine and global peace and security”. “We will coordinate with our NATO allies to ensure a strong and united response that discourages any aggression against the Alliance.”
