President Joe Biden said that the US was taking steps to ease what he called “Putin’s price hike at the pump” and said the country stood united against the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Biden told supporters in a speech at the Democratic National Convention Winter Meeting that Russian President miscalculated how much international resistance his invasion would face,

“[Vladimir] Putin failed to divide us … Putin was counting on a divided NATO, a divided West and quite frankly a divided America - but he got none of that.

In fact, he’s now facing a more united, energized, resolute NATO and the West than he ever imagined.

He’s failed to divide Democrats and Republicans, but we need to be honest with the American people; the battle for freedom has its cost here at home as well”, - said Biden.
