"Hey folks, I want to recap a few things on Ukraine:

First, the intelligence community has been very accurate and has given us a lot of insight over the past few months and through this invasion. We'll keep trusting them.

We have broad, bipartisan consensus on countering Russian aggression with severe sanctions. There's also strong international consensus, even beyond NATO. Our allies in all parts of the world are condemning the actions of Putin.

The Russian military is attacking targets across Ukraine, suggesting this is a broad invasion. It appears direct attacks on Kyiv are beginning. But they are meeting resistance from the Ukrainian people, including civilians who have been training over the past few weeks.

I remain particularly concerned about the reports of cyber attacks and the way the international community could be at risk. There's historical precedent to suggest these could be devastating for individuals, businesses, and entire countries.

I'm in constant contact with the leaders of the intelligence community and will keep getting briefed on this. The United States stands with the people of Ukraine and remains committed to protecting their sovereignty -- @POTUS did the right thing extending humanitarian aid."
