“We will continue to impose costs on Russia for its aggression … and provide the support necessary for Ukrainian forces to defend their country and their freedom,” the president said.
President Joe Biden on Monday condemned major attacks from Russia on Ukrainian civilian centers, calling again on Russia “to end this unprovoked aggression immediately and remove its troops from Ukraine.”
“We will continue to impose costs on Russia for its aggression, hold Putin and Russia accountable for its atrocities and war crimes, and provide the support necessary for Ukrainian forces to defend their country and their freedom,” Biden said in a statement, offering his condolences to the loved ones of those killed. The Associated Press reported that at least eight people were killed and 24 were injured in one of the strikes in the capital, Kyiv, according to Rostyslav Smirnov, an adviser to the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Russia launched dozens of missiles and rockets toward civilian targets and major cities overnight, “some during rush hour, in which the maximum amount of civilians would be present,” according to Mick Mulroy, a former Pentagon official and retired CIA officer. The United States has since pledged to continue supporting the embattled country.

I just spoke with @DmytroKuleba to reiterate U.S. support for Ukraine following the Kremlin’s horrific strikes this morning. We will continue to provide unwavering economic, humanitarian, and security assistance so Ukraine can defend itself and take care of its people.
