Overnight, Vladimir Putin-led Russia launched an attack on Ukraine in an act of war that is believed it could go for weeks or months. U.S. President Joe Biden has warned of the possibility for weeks and in response has promised tough sanctions against Russia for the “unprovoked and unjustified” attack.

After the launch against Ukraine, Biden released a 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.

I will be monitoring the situation from the White House this evening and will continue to get regular updates from my national security team. Tomorrow, I will meet with my G7 counterparts in the morning and then speak to the American people to announce the further consequences the United States and our Allies and partners will impose on Russia for this needless act of aggression against Ukraine and global peace and security. We will also coordinate with our NATO Allies to ensure a strong, united response that deters any aggression against the Alliance. Tonight, Jill and I are praying for the brave and proud people of Ukraine.”

Biden currently states no U.S. Troops will enter Ukraine at the moment.

Overnight Vladimir Putin-led Russian forces began to invade the neighboring nation of Ukraine. The initial attack included airstrikes and taking on the land from its East, North, and South borders. President Putin issued a warning in response to his invasion, stating foreign nations who interfere would feel “consequences you have never seen.” According to AP, that threat signals Putin’s nuclear arsenal.

Throughout the invasion, sirens and explosions were heard. Currently, there are 40 known deaths of Ukrainian soldiers. Residents also state the sound of missiles could be heard across the sky.

In response to the invasion, the chief of the NATO alliance stated the act was a “brutal act of war.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared martial law.

“As of today, our countries are on different sides of world history,” he tweeted. “Russia has embarked on a path of evil, but Ukraine is defending itself and won’t give up its freedom.”

United States President Joe Biden stated new sanctions would be placed against Russia for their “unprovoked and unjustified” attack. Biden is expected to address Americans on Thursday.
