President Biden says he has 'no plans to talk with Putin' after Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine. Biden announced new sanctions against Russia, including blocking assets of four large banks, imposing export controls and sanctioning oligarchs.
“Putin is the aggressor,” Biden said. “Putin chose this war, and now he and his country will bear the consequences.”
Biden announced the sanctions while Ukraine’s government reported mounting casualties as Russian forces attack from the east, north and south. The president also met with his national security team on Thursday morning in the Situation Room as he looked to flesh out U.S. moves in the rapidly escalating crisis.
“We demand the disconnection of Russia from SWIFT, the introduction of a no-fly zone over Ukraine and other effective steps to stop the aggressor,” Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a tweet.
