U.S. President Joe Biden has said Russia alone is responsible for the death and destruction that its attack on Ukraine will bring.
In a televised meeting with business leaders, Putin told Alexander Shokhin, the head of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, that Moscow had been forced into taking action and knew that sanctions would follow."We all understand the world we live in and were prepared in one way or another for what is now happening from the point of view of sanctions policy," Putin said. "Russia remains a part of the global economy.
Shokhin said Russia should stimulate extra demand for government debt from private investors, given new Western sanctions on Russian state bonds, warning new sanctions would be tougher than previous ones and may disrupt logistics and supply chains."I want to thank you for what has been done so far in rather difficult conditions," Putin told Shokhin.

Putin looked into the eyes of that buffoon Biden last June and knew he'd get away with this!
I believe there is always a peace option. It is regretful that the leaders did not believe so
His rhetoric and actions in recent months reflect so much the BS we were fed by TFG! It makes me sick
Anything else?
