Russia-Ukraine crisis: Biden announces sanctions that cut Moscow off from Western financing

"None of us will be fooled" by Russian President Vladimir Putin's claims about Ukraine, the US President said. And he said more sanctions could be on the way if Putin proceeds further.

Biden said he was also moving additional US troops to the Baltic states on NATO's eastern flank bordering Russia.
