Biden: “This was never about a genuine security concern on their part. It was always about naked aggression — about Putin’s desire for empire, by any means necessary.”

Biden said Putin will “bear the consequences” for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Biden: "Let me say it again: Our forces are not — and will not — be engaged in the conflict with Russia in Ukraine."

Biden says the new sanctions against Russia are designed “to maximize a long-term impact on Russia” and “minimize the impact” on the U.S. and its allies.
