Mon 10 October 2022:

Russian missile strikes on Ukrainian cities, US President Joe Biden said Monday, “demonstrate the utter brutality” of Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s “illegal war.”

“The United States strongly condemns Russia’s missile strikes today across Ukraine,” Biden said in a statement.

“These attacks killed and injured civilians and destroyed targets with no military purpose,” he said.

“They once again demonstrate the utter brutality of Mr. Putin’s illegal war on the Ukrainian people.”

The US president said the attacks “only further reinforce our commitment to stand with the people of Ukraine for as long as it takes.

“Alongside our allies and partners, we will continue to impose costs on Russia for its aggression, hold Putin and Russia accountable for its atrocities and war crimes, and provide the support necessary for Ukrainian forces to defend their country and their freedom,” Biden said.

“We again call on Russia to end this unprovoked aggression immediately and remove its troops from Ukraine.”

According to the White House, Biden also promised to provide advanced air defense systems to Ukraine after Russian missiles rained down on the capital Kyiv and other cities.

According to the statement, Biden spoke with President Volodymyr Zelensky and “pledged to continue providing Ukraine with the support needed to defend itself, including advanced air defense systems.”
