Joseph Biden actually said...

"the White House has repeatedly warned Russia over the last few weeks that a Russian invasion of Ukraine would have severe, severe diplomatic and economic consequences."

"He also wants to make clear to Vladimir Putin what the cost will be if indeed, he decides to move forward with an invasion of Ukraine."

"If you know you don't invade and by the way we're coordinating with our allies and by the way there will be severe costs."

"President Biden will speak by phone tomorrow with Russian leader Vladimir Putin and that the call was requested by the Russian President."
