Biden To Give Address On Ukraine 12:00 ET 17:00 GMT

WHITE HOUSE

Biden is expected to give an address to the nation at 12:00 ET 17:00 GMT today although that time is subject to change and the White House is yet to update it's event schedule. When the event takes place it will be available to watch here.

  • Biden is expected to announce more sanctions on Russia and deploy more defensive troops to NATO's eastern flank. The precise nature of sanctions are likely being coordinated at a virtual G7 meeting taking place now.
  • Biden will find it difficult to resist calls for the imposition of the harshest possible sanctions on Russia's banking system and on the members of Putin's inner circle.
  • The White House: 'President Biden met with his national security team in the Situation Room this morning to discuss the latest developments in Ukraine. He discussed how we will hold Russia accountable for its unprovoked and unjustified attack on Ukraine.'
