Joe Biden announces during his SOTU address that the U.S. will ban all Russian air traffic, following similar bans by the European Union.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned Russia's human rights abuses during an address at the United Nations Human Rights Council meeting on the situation in Ukraine.
The Kremlin is not only violating international humanitarian law in Ukraine, Blinken said, but has been committing similar abuses within its own borders long before the invasion began. He implied that Russia should not be allowed on the Human Rights Council because of its attacks on another member. He called on the Council to stand for the rules members agreed upon to ensure all people enjoy human rights, peace and security.
