Fox News link. I was over there seeing what color the sky is to them.
Very forceful speech
"To be very blunt, let us speak plainly. A permanent member of the United Nations Security Council invaded its neighbor, attempted to erase a sovereign state from the map," Biden said. "Russia has shamelessly violated the core tenets of the United Nations Charterno more important than the clear prohibition against countries taking the territory of their neighbor by force."
"Putin claims he had to act because Russia was threatened," Biden said. "But no one threatened Russiano one other than Russia sought conflict. In fact, we warned it was coming."
"Like you, the United States wants this war to end on just termson terms we all signed up forthat you cannot seize a nations territory by force," Biden said. "The only country standing in the way of that is Russia."
Biden added: "Ukraine has the same rights that belong to every sovereign nation. We will stand in solidarity with Ukraine. We will stand in solidarity against Russias aggression. Period."
