Biden Denounces Russia’s Nuclear Threats

President Biden “harshly condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Wednesday, telling the United Nation’s General Assembly that the unprovoked war directly violated the organization’s charter, and warning of escalating nuclear threats by Russian President Vladimir Putin,” CNBC reports.

Said Biden: “Let us speak plainly: a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council invaded its neighbor, attempted to erase the sovereign state from the map. Russia has shamelessly violated the core tenets of the United Nations’ charter, no more important than the clear prohibition against countries taking the territory of their neighbor by force.”
