Biden says Putin's invasion of Ukraine shows he has 'much larger ambitions' and wants to 're-establish the former Soviet Union'

President Joe Biden denounced the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and warned that the Russians were trying to restore the Soviet Union.

He has bigger ambitions than Ukraine. He wants to reestablish the former Soviet Union. Biden said that this is about Putin. This comment was made after Biden said that the US had a harsher response to Russia's attack on Ukraine.

He said that his ambitions are contrary to the place where the rest of the world has arrived.

Biden made it clear that the US will not fight in Ukraine when he announced the deployment of an additional 7,000 US troops to Germany. The US will get involved if Putin moves into countries that are part of NATO.

NATO will defend its territory if Russia attacks a member country, according to the alliance's Secretary-General.

If we don't move against him now, he will be emboldened.

The president announced a new round of sanctions against Russia on Thursday, following on from the economic sanctions imposed on Tuesday. Biden met with G7 leaders and agreed upon further sanctions against Russia after troops moved in on the northern, southern, and eastern borders.

Russia will be limited in its ability to do business in dollars, euros, pounds and yen in order to be part of the global economy. We are going to make it harder for them to compete in a high-tech 21st-century economy.

Several US lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, such as GOP Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Democratic Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware, have sounded the alarm on Putin wanting to expand Russia's borders.

Over the years, Putin has suggested that Ukraine is not a real country, and that Ukrainians and Russians are one people.

The Russian president wants to reestablish Russia's supremacy in countries that were once part of the Soviet Union, according to experts.

In a recent New York Times op-ed, Madeleine Albright said that her first impression of Putin was that he was embarrassed by what happened to his country.

For years, Putin has complained about NATO's eastward expansion as a threat to Russia. He wants Ukraine to be permanently barred from NATO. The alliance and the US have made it clear that this is not feasible.

The current crisis between Russia and Ukraine is 30 years in the making. It is much more than that. It is about the future of the European order that was created after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

During his two decades in power, Putin has devoted a lot of his energy to challenging the post-Cold War security framework built by the US and its allies. The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian leader is the most audacious, and potentially catastrophic, example of these ambitions to date.
