Biden announces new sanctions against Russia to counter Putin's 'invasion' of Ukraine

President Biden announced on Tuesday that the United States will impose new sanctions on Moscow after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered troops into two Ukrainian territories on which the Kremlin has laid claim for years.

“This is the beginning of a Russian invasion of Ukraine,” Biden said in an address from the East Room of the White House.

Biden’s remarks came a day after Putin ordered troops into Donetsk and Luhansk under the guise of “peacekeeping,” even as the Russian president made clear that he did not accept the basic premise of Ukrainian sovereignty.

“Who in the Lord’s name does Putin think gives him the right to declare new so-called countries on territory that belongs to his neighbors?” Biden said. “This is a flagrant violation of international law.”

Biden talks tough. Let's see if he follows through with his threats.

They already said they didn't care about the sanctions.

I think Biden should have just called it an invasion instead of the BEGINNING of an invasion. I also thought they should have unloaded all the sanctions NOW instead of waiting for Ukrainian citizens to die. We'll see if Putin's regime can survive if enough Russian soldiers die in Ukraine.
