U.S. President Joe Biden is also supporting Ukraine. He denounced Russia’s attacks in a press conference from the White House on Feb. 24, and also announced further economic sanctions being placed on the Russian government on imports and the country’s elites to place a massive cost on the Russian economy. “Putin is the aggressor. Putin chose this war, and now he and his country will bare the consequences,” Biden said.
Biden also promised that the U.S. military forces will not be joining the conflict in Europe, but will continue to support Ukraine and NATO allies. “This aggression cannot go unanswered. If it did, the consequences for America would be much worse,” the president said. “America stands up to bullies. We stand up for freedom. This is who we are.”
