President Joe Biden took a parting shot at Vladimir Putin as he bragged about beating the Russian president to the center of Kyiv. In his final foreign policy speech before stepping down, Biden mocked Putin for thinking he could easily take the Ukrainian capital.

Despite Russian President Vladimir Putin's claims of capturing Ukraine in three days, this never happened. He never managed to visit Kyiv, states Joe Biden during a speech at the State Department as part of his closing remarks as US President.

President Joe Biden's administration says it's expanding sanctions against Russia's critically important energy sector over its war in Ukraine.

The U.S. Treasury announced on Friday sweeping new sanctions against the Russian energy sector, including oil majors Gazprom Neft and Surgutneftegaz, to try to curtail Moscow's ability to fund its war with Ukraine.

The US on Friday announced the most sweeping and aggressive sanctions yet on Russia’s oil trade, just ten days before Joe Biden leaves the White House to be replaced by Donald Trump as president.
