“Unprovoked and unjustified”: Former Presidents Obama, Bush urge world to condemn Russia’s invasion
SHARE

Former Presidents Obama and Bush condemned Russia’s attack on Ukraine on Thursday, calling it “unprovoked and unjustified” and urging people around the world to stand with Ukraine.

Why it matters: Russian President Vladimir Putin’s overnight invasion of Ukraine overnight has caused dozens of civilian casualties and thrown thousands of Ukrainians into a panic to flee, and it’s only just started. Russian forces are confirmed to have crossed the Ukrainian border by land, air and sea.

What they’re saying: “Russia’s attack on Ukraine constitutes the gravest security crisis on the European continent since World War II,” Bush said in a statement.

  • He condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “unprovoked and unjustified invasion” and urged the American government and people to put their full support behind Ukraine and its people “as they seek freedom and the right to choose their own future.”

  • Russia attacked “not because Ukraine posed a threat to Russia, but because the people of Ukraine chose a path of sovereignty, self-determination, and democracy,” Obama said in a statement.

  • “For exercising rights that should be available to all people and nations, Ukrainians now face a brutal onslaught that is killing innocents and displacing untold numbers of men, women, and children.”

  • “[E]very American, regardless of party, should support President Biden’s efforts, in coordination with our closest allies, to impose hard-hitting sanctions on Russia,” Obama said, adding that any resulting economic consequences are “a price we should be willing to pay to take a stand on the side of freedom.”
