In response to Russian President Vladimir Putin's announcement that he will conduct a special military operation in eastern Ukraine, U.S. President Joe Biden stressed in a statement on March 23 that "the United States and its allies will take decisive measures in coordination. He harshly condemned what he called "an unjustified and unwarranted attack on Ukraine."
Biden criticized "Mr. Putin's choice of a premeditated war that will bring tragic death and suffering," and claimed that "Russia alone is responsible for the death and destruction caused by this attack." He also insisted that "the world will hold Russia accountable."
