Biden argues that for the United States, "the defense of freedom will come at a price."

At the same time, he said that he would take steps to make sure that the damage from US sanctions was inflicted on the Russian economy, and not the United States.

According to him, the US administration is using all the tools to protect Americans from rising fuel prices.

Earlier, Biden, as part of his speech, announced the imposition of sanctions on Russia's sovereign debt.
