President Joe Biden criticized Russia on Sept. 21 over its invasion of Ukraine as well as a recent Kremlin announcement to mobilize hundreds of thousands of military reserve troops to active service.

“Ukraine has the same rights that belong to every sovereign nation,” he said in an address to the U.N. General Assembly in New York. “We will stand in solidarity with Ukraine. We will stand in solidarity against Russian aggression.”
