Thank you Guardian News for having the balls to leave the comment section open unlike just about all the other spineless networks out there.

Back in 1994 when the UK & the US convinced the Ukraine to give up its nuclear weapons on the assurance that they would help defend Ukraine in the event of war - wonder if Ukraine are regretting believing that now.

He comes in at 7:10 for anyone rewatching this. Everything before that is just the empty podium.

Waiting “a month or so” to see if sanctions have any effect is not a sound strategy. It’s a death sentence for Ukraine because there won’t be a Ukraine in a month or so.

Great to see the world retaliate with 'thoughts & prayers'.

Im disappointed joe didnt whisper into the mic .. putin wouldve understoon his seriousness then

[caseykreicar]

The world needs a stronger stance against this kind of tyranny

[giuseppersa]

This man should be in a gentle and caring home for the aged.

[napoleondynamite]

How the man avoids questions is phenomenal!!!!

As a human my heart goes out for the people of ukrain stop this war ...we all want peace

No way this is the USA President, what a joke

[l-cranchjustthinking]

The President's non-answer to the question about China's cooperation or lack thereof, was telling.

Biden comes in at 07:13 and is really quiet. Suddenly gets much louder at 07:40. Warning to headphone wearers.

I feel bad for the Russian people who have nothing to do with politics. They too will suffer from these sanctions.

Biden comes in at 7:10. Mic comes in at 8:36.

Is there a Press conference of Putin..would love to hear what he has to say to his own people about this war.

Japan needs to send thousands of Toyota Hilux’s to Ukraine PRONTO

[canadiand]

This wouldn’t happen with Trump in office. Canada also has a Biden like president.

"Why not sanction Putin directly, Sir"
*I'll pretend I didn't hear that*

“It’s going to be a cold day for Russia.” It’s always a cold day in Russia.

Israel has the right to defend itself- Biden
