Biden announces new economic measures after Russia's full-scale invasion into Ukraine.
RELATED: Russia invades Ukraine, Biden calls out Putin for 'premeditated war'
President Joe Biden forcefully condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine on Thursday, calling it a premeditated attack and a brutal assault “without provocation, without justification, without necessity.”
He announced new sanctions that include banning what can be exported to Russia. “We have purposely designed these sanctions to maximize a long-term impact on Russia and to minimize impact on the United States and our allies.”
New sanctions imposed by Biden also target Belarus for its role in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with a focus on the country’s defense sector and financial institutions.
Biden used his strongest language to date about Putin, saying the U.S. and allies will make sure he will be a “pariah on the international stage.”

Lies lies
Something like that, he’s an idiot and he’s trying to make us pay for everything ohmygod he needs to be taken care of this vitamin guy
I’d rather have a minor inconvenience than see people lose their lives. Even though I don’t like him, I agree with him on that.
I agree! If we could have about 20 funerals in Washington soon, maybe we could finally start recovering instead of the steady decline we’ve seen from Joe “Sanction” Biden
Hey Joe!!! You forgot to mention the part where you asked Putin for 10%…
Peace 🙌🙌🙌✌
No more Amazon for Russia
Lmfao, Commrad Putin isn’t scared of your meaningless sanctions, Joe, so give it a rest.
Gimme a break! – joe
Anyone say Jimmy Carter 2.0?
You’re a weak weasel, Joe. This is your fault.
Remember Afghanistan? Putin does too.
Oh right, is that why this started back in 2014?
@Willie Phuger yeah Biden was only vice president then.
Impeach 46 !

EVERYONE IS THE BOY WHO CRIED WOLF & NOW YOU CAN NOT BELIEVE ANYONE.
Expect gas shortages very soon. Not to mention a steady increase in gas prices.
Actions speak louder than words
President Reagan didn’t bend the knee to Mother Russia
Sanctions won’t do anything, as one russian said during an interview ‘we’re used to sanctions’. I’m sure Putin took this into consideration. Hope for the best.
Who choice the war in Afghanistan, Iraq?
If NATO had separated when USSR separated we wouldn’t be having this problems
