Biden kicks off sanctions and UK will follow after issuing stark warning ‘the invasion of Ukraine has begun’
Russian tanks have rolled into Donetsk and Luhansk after Putin ordered 'peacekeepers' into the regions. Putin last night officially recognized the two areas of Ukraine as independent regions in a press conference. Biden late last night imposed sanctions against the two breakaway regions of Eastern Ukraine amid the move.
But stopped short of issuing full-blown sanctions against Russia as Western allies deliberate their response. British authorities meanwhile have announced they will reveal the scale of their sanctions later today. UK Health Secretary Sajid Javid this morning declared on national television that 'the invasion has begun'. Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed a 'barrage of sanctions' will be revealed this afternoon.
