Joe Biden Ukraine war speech LIVE – Watch as president addresses nation after Russia and Putin invasion starts

PRESIDENT Joe Biden is set to speak at the White House this afternoon after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine got underway overnight.

President Biden will address the nation, and is expected to announce further sanctions against Russia.

The speech comes after Putin declared war on the neighboring nation overnight, and unleashed his terrifying arsenal with a full-scale assault on the country.

The tyrant declared a “special military operation” in Ukraine with a dawn raid after months of amassing his forces on the border and brazenly lying to the world about his plans to invade.

The world is waking up to what could the most horrific crisis since World War 2 as Putin seeks to tear down the world order.

His full-scale invasion of Ukraine is all part of his deluded plan to rebuild the Soviet Union amid his paranoid fears over Nato.
