President Joe Biden issued a statement to put Americans on notice that our involvement in war with Russia is increasing. Although it still feels unlikely to happen in the coming days, Biden’s statement follows Russia’s latest attacks across Ukraine on Friday, Dec 29th, hitting hospitals, shopping centers, and residential buildings, killing at least 31 citizens with another 120 wounded, according to Ukraine officials cited by Reuters.
“Overnight, Russia launched its largest aerial assault on Ukraine since this war began,” Biden said in a statement released Friday. “It is a stark reminder to the world that, after nearly two years of this devastating war, Putin’s objective remains unchanged. He seeks to obliterate Ukraine and subjugate its people. He must be stopped.”
