Ukraine Live Updates: Biden to Speak on Sanctions Against Russia

Washington and its allies called the Kremlin’s recognition of two separatist regions a blunt defiance of international law that risks war. A top E.U. official said Russian troops had entered eastern Ukraine, but stopped short of calling it an “invasion.”

Biden to speak on Russia and Ukraine amid pressure from Congress on sanctions – live

予定も1時間早めたと思ったら、またオリジナルの時間に戻したり、現在はオリジナルの開始時間を過ぎても始まっていません。Twitterでは痺れを切らした人たちの愚痴が見て取れます（苦笑）よくある文句はおじいちゃんだから昼寝が必要というもの（笑）

President Biden is frequently late for big speeches and today is no exception. White House officials initially said he would speak at 2 p.m. about the crisis in Ukraine, but later sent out an update to the schedule that moved the speech to 1 p.m. By 1:40 p.m., reporters had yet to be called to the East Room for the remarks.

Confirmed: Joe Biden will give speech after nap time

The speech was supposed to start at 1pm. Pres. Biden is always late. He and the White House staff should be on time. Punctuality is professionalism here. He shouldn't keep people waiting.

biden moved his 2pm speech to 1pm and now it’s 1:53pm and he’s not out yet. Can someone wake him up? My ipad is almost out of battery…

probably watching the Biden speech that was scheduled for 2 PM and then they moved it up to 1 PM and may miss the 2 PM original start time.

Biden is never on time. I bet his puppet masters are giving him last minute instructions.m now. They probably have him rehearse his speech before giving it and ordering him to take NO QUESTIONS! 

As usual, he’ll walk away turning his back on all Americans and reporters again.
