Biden condemns Russia's "unprovoked and unjustified attack on Ukraine"
In a statement early Thursday morning, US President Joe Biden condemned Russia's actions, shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced military action in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.
Biden's statement:

The prayers of the entire world are with the people of Ukraine tonight as they suffer an unprovoked and unjustified attack by Russian military forces. President Putin has chosen a premeditated war that will bring a catastrophic loss of life and human suffering. Russia alone is responsible for the death and destruction this attack will bring, and the United States and its Allies and partners will respond in a united and decisive way. The world will hold Russia accountable.

Biden added that he is monitoring the situation from the White House, and will meet with the other G7 leaders in the morning. He will announce "further consequences" imposed on Russia by the US and its allies tomorrow, he said.
