President Putin has chosen a premeditated war that will bring a catastrophic loss of life and human suffering,\u201d Biden began in his statement.<\/p>\n<p>The president also clearly noted Russia\u2019s responsibility in starting the conflict and the need for accountability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRussia 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,\u201d Biden added.<\/p>\n<p>Biden said he is continuing to monitor the unfolding situation from the White House, according to the statement. He also plans to meet with leaders of the G7 nations on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTomorrow, 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,\u201d the president stated.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Biden, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/world-leaders-respond-to-russia-launching-full-scale-invasion-into-ukraine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">numerous world leaders<\/a> have spoken out against Russia\u2019s aggression against Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI strongly condemn Russia\u2019s reckless and unprovoked attack on Ukraine, which puts at risk countless civilian lives.

I call on Russia to cease its military action immediately and respect Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity. NATO Allies will meet to address the consequences of Russia\u2019s aggressive actions. We stand with the people of Ukraine at this terrible time. NATO will do all it takes to protect and defend all Allies,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple Republican Senators have also condemned the attacks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVladimir Putin\u2019s unprovoked, naked war of aggression must face the most severe consequences.
