(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, 24 FEB - "It is a premeditated Damesi war": US President Joe Biden said this, speaking of the White House of the Ukrainian conflict, specifying that Putin will become a "pariah on the international scene".
Biden then added that he has "no plans to talk to Putin" and "there is a complete rupture now in relations between the United States and Russia".
The United States will release additional strategic oil reserves if needed, the head of the White House assured, announcing new sanctions and a ban on technology exports to punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
Four more Russian state-owned banks on the blacklist.
"I have not underestimated Putin. The sanctions against Putin remain on the table," he later said.
