Where is Joe Biden today?

Where is Joe Biden?
On February 24, 2022, President Joe Biden is scheduled to speak about the situation going on in Ukraine.
The speech will start at 2:00pm EST and be available to watch live on the White House’s official website.
He previously spoke about the situation on February 22, when he introduced more sanctions against Russia after President Vladimir Putin gave the green light for troops to move into the Eastern areas of Ukraine and claimed it was a “peacekeeping mission” during a live televised speech.
Deputy Secretary of State, Wendy Sherman, told the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe that Putin sending troops into Ukraine was “utterly unprovoked and unjustified.

“Moscow calls these troops ‘peacekeepers,’” she added, “but we all know this is a lie.”
In his speech on February 22, Biden said the new sanctions against Russia will include “full blocking” for two of Russia’s largest financial institutions.
“That means we’ve cut off Russia’s government from Western finance,” he said. “It can no longer raise money from the West and cannot trade in its new debt on our markets or European markets either.”

Biden said this is just the first of many sanctions the US will impose on Russia if Putin continues to move against Ukraine.
Biden’s new sanctions are directed at Russian elite families and said, “They share in the corrupt games of the Kremlin policies and should share in the pain as well.”
On Monday, February 21, Putin recognized the two separatist states, Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, as independent from Ukraine before announcing he was sending troops into those regions.
However, Biden said he has not entirely ruled out the possibility of diplomacy.
“The United States and our allies and partners remain open to diplomacy if it is serious,” he said. “When all is said and done, we’re going to judge Russia by its actions, not its words.”
What has President Joe Biden previously said about Ukraine?
Last week, the President urged Americans to leave Ukraine, saying US personnel would not be sent in to retrieve them if Russia attacked the country.
Russia has been deploying military troops to the Ukraine border since December 2021, and Biden says he expects President Vladimir Putin to give the go-ahead to attack Ukraine in coming days.
“It’s not like we’re dealing with a terrorist organization,” Biden told NBC News Anchor Lester Holt on February 10, 2022.
“We’re dealing with one of the largest armies in the world. It’s a very different situation and things could go crazy quickly.”
