The Russia-Ukraine war, the "world" in one voice condemns the actions

What was frightening the world happened this morning when Russia launched a missile attack on Ukraine. The top leaders of the countries who condemn the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin have also reacted in this regard, saying that it is causing bloodshed and that it has returned the war to Europe.

In the coming hours, it is expected that there will be strong sanctions for Russia, which will hit the country's economy. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, speaking in Brussels, condemns the actions of Vladimir Putin to return the war to Europe.

She announced that a series of sanctions would be proposed later in an effort to weaken Russia's economic base and "its capacity to modernize."

Ursula von der Leyen

Russian forces invaded Ukraine, a free and sovereign country. We condemn this barbaric attack and the cynical arguments used to justify it. Later today we will present a package of massive, targeted sanctions. The sanctions will target strategic sectors of the Russian economy. We will freeze Russian assets in the EU and ban Russian banks from accessing our financial market. This was created to take a heavy toll on the Kremlin's ability to fund the war.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg

I strongly condemn Russia's reckless and unprovoked attack on Ukraine, which endangers the lives of countless civilians. Once again, despite our repeated warnings and tireless efforts to engage in diplomacy, Russia has chosen the path of aggression against a sovereign and independent country.

This is a serious violation of international law and a serious threat to Euro-Atlantic security. I urge Russia to immediately cease its military operations and to respect Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. NATO allies will meet to address the consequences of Russia's aggressive actions. We stand with the people of Ukraine in this terrible time. NATO will do whatever it takes to protect and defend all allies.

The new UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly

This has long been planned by Vladimir Putin. This is an invasion and is completely unprovoked and unjustified.

Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi

It is unjustified and unjustifiable. Italy - is close to the Ukrainian people and institutions at this dramatic moment. We are working with European and NATO allies to respond promptly, with unity and determination. The Russian military operation is a very serious and unjustified aggression, to the detriment of Ukraine, which Italy strongly condemns. A violation of international law. Italy stands by the Ukrainian people, along with its EU and Atlantic partners.

US President Joe Biden

President Zelenskyy contacted me. I condemned this unprovoked and unjustified attack by the Russian military forces. I briefed him on the steps we are taking to gather international condemnation, including tonight at the UN Security Council.

Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

I am appalled by the horrific events in Ukraine and have spoken with President Zelenskyy to discuss the next steps. President Putin has chosen a path of bloodshed and destruction by launching this unprovoked attack on Ukraine. The UK and our allies will respond decisively.

French President Emmanuel Macron 

France strongly condemns Russia's decision to attack Ukraine. Russia must immediately end its military operations. France stands in solidarity with Ukraine. It stands with the Ukrainians and is working with its partners and allies to end the war.
