President Biden Ignores Questions On Ukraine While Out To Lunch In DC

 

Daily Mail: Biden ignores questions on Ukraine while out to lunch in DC as Kamala Harris meets with Ukrainian president Zelensky and threatens Putin with 'significant and unprecedented' sanctions if Russia invades: 160,000 troops are 'poised to strike' 

* President Joe Biden went out to eat Saturday in DC with Hunter Biden's daughters Finnegan and Naomi Biden and Naomi's fiancé Peter Neal 

* 'Good to see you' was all the president would say as he waved to reporters on his way to the motorcade to return to the White House 

* Biden on Friday declared that Putin had made up his mind to invade Ukraine and it could be launched in days 

* Harris met with Ukrainian president Zelensky and said the United States and its allies were prepared to impose 'significant and unprecedented' economic costs on Russia if it further invades Ukraine 

* Harris, who wore a mask for her meeting, said the US and its allies have tried to engage with Russia to find diplomatic solutions but their efforts have not been met by the Kremlin in good faith 

* 'We will target Russia's financial institutions and key industries, and we will target those who... aide and abet this unprovoked invasion' 

* She also implied the Kremlin had launched false flag attacks as a pretext for war, hours after a gas pipeline blast and car bomb rocked pro-Russian cities in Eastern Ukraine 

* The United States will not stop with economic measures, but will further reinforce the Eastern flank of NATO, Harris said at the conference 

* Friday was the first time the US has said Russia will invade. 'I'm convinced he's made the decision,' said Biden of Russian President Vladimir Putin 

* On Friday night, Biden tweeted that he hoped war could be averted between Russia and Ukraine 

* 'We're calling out Russia's plans. Not because we want a conflict, but because we are doing everything in our power to remove any reason Russia may give to justify invading Ukraine' 

President Joe Biden dodged questions from the press about the escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine after a lunch out Saturday with his granddaughters in Washington, D.C. 

'Good to see you,' the president responded to reporters' questions as he left The Hamilton restaurant after a meal with Hunter Biden's daughters Finnegan Biden and Naomi Biden, and Naomi's fiancé Peter Neal. 

Vice President Kamala Harris, on the other hand, had plenty to say over the weekend.

WNU Editor: President Biden is doing the same thing that he did before the fall of Afghanistan. He ignored the Press when he was outside the White House. Delayed as much as possible to comment on the crisis. When it got bad he would read a prepared statement to the press that never came close to answering the questions that the press and everyone else wanted him to answer. It was only after the fall of Afghanistan that President Biden took a lot of questions from the press .... and again .... not satisfying anyone.
