United States President Joe Biden, has opened the State of the Union address with remarks on the situation in Ukraine.
His comments on the consequences Russia would face garnered applause and generally, bipartisan support within the Congressional chamber, where he announced a ban on Russian flights in US airspace and promised to go after assets of oligarchs with Kremlin ties.
But officials from both parties have put pressure on the White House to go further with a ban on Russian oil imports.
Some Democrats are also calling for an import ban, while rejecting the calls to boost domestic fossil fuel production.
