World Leaders Strongly Condemn Russia over Ukraine Invasion
-----------------------------------------------------------

Russia's invasion began as the United Nations Security Council met in an
emergency session to discuss tensions in Ukraine. U.N. Secretary-General
António Guterres condemned Russia's aggression as "the saddest moment in
my tenure."

Secretary-General António Guterres: "President Putin, in the name of
humanity, bring your troops back to Russia. In the name of humanity, do
not allow to start in Europe what could be the worst war since the
beginning of the century."

President Biden is meeting with his G7 counterparts today to map out
more severe measures against Russia, including new sanctions. In Paris,
officials lit up city hall overnight in the blue and yellow colors of
Ukraine's flag. In Berlin, German officials lit the Brandenburg Gate in
similar fashion. After headlines, we'll have the latest on Russia's
invasion of Ukraine and the world's response.
