United States President Joe Biden says Putin’s war on Ukraine is making ‘Russia weaker.

Biden’s remarks come as Russian forces escalate their attacks on Ukraine’s crowded urban areas.

Biden said Russia will be diminished following its invasion of Ukraine.

“When the history of this era is written Putin’s war on Ukraine will have left Russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger,” Biden said.

He added that the U.S. government is closing off American airspace to all Russian flights,“further isolating Russia and adding an additional squeeze on their economy.”
