US President Joe Biden says he has just spoken to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. "The Ukrainian president reached out to me tonight and we just finished speaking. I condemned this unprovoked and unjustified attack by Russian military forces. I briefed him on steps we're taking to rally international condemnation, including tonight at the UNSC.

"He asked me to call on the leaders of the world to speak out clearly against Russian President Vladimir Putins flagrant aggression, and to stand with the people of Ukraine.

"Tomorrow, I will be meeting with the Leaders of the G7, and the United States and our Allies and partners will be imposing severe sanctions on Russia. We will continue to provide support and assistance to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people."
