Biden: We Stand With Ukraine Against Russia's Aggressive Acts

RUSSIA

On the anniversary of the Russian annexation of the Crimea, the White House releases a statement condemning the act and stating that his administration "will stand with Ukraine against Russia's aggressive acts" (full statement below).

  • Biden's statement comes hours after the Ukrainian gov't confirmed that it had closed an investigation into President Biden brought by former prosecutor general Viktor Shokin, a close ally of Rudy Giuliani who served as part of former President Donald Trump's legal team.
  • Also comes as tensions between Ukraine and Russia in the breakaway Donbas region of Ukraine escalate following the imposition of sanctions by Kiev on allies of Russian President Vladimir Putin. This sparked calls among the nationalist media in Russia to officially annex the breakaway republics in the region.
