President Biden and 11 other world leaders spoke Tuesday morning about their ongoing efforts to support Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression, the White House said.
Biden convened a video conference with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President Charles Michel, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Polish President Andrzej Duda, Romanian President Klaus Iohannis and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
“The leaders reiterated their commitment to continue providing security, economic and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine in its time of need,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters aboard Air Force One on Tuesday. “The leaders affirmed their solidarity with the Ukrainian people and condemned the humanitarian suffering caused by Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified invasion.”
Psaki said Monday that the Biden administration was weighing additional sanctions on Russia, a topic the leaders discussed Tuesday, according to the White House.
