US President Joe Biden said that the people of Ukraine were subjected to an unprovoked and unjustified attack by Russian forces. This was reported on the website of the White House.
“The prayers of the whole world today are with the people of Ukraine, who are suffering from an unprovoked and unjustified attack by the Russian armed forces. President Putin has chosen a deliberate war that will bring catastrophic loss of life and suffering. Russia alone is responsible for the death and destruction that this attack will bring, and the United States and its allies and partners will respond in a united and decisive manner. The world will hold Russia to account,” Biden said in a statement.
He stressed that he would monitor the situation and meet with colleagues and the G7 the next day. After that, Biden noted that he plans to turn to the Americans to announce further consequences that the United States, allies and partners will take towards Russia for "an unnecessary act of aggression against Ukraine, global peace and security."
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the citizens of Russia and Ukraine early in the morning on February 24 about the situation in Ukraine.
