US President Joe Biden on Thursday backed excluding Russia from the G20 grouping of major economies over its military operation against Ukraine, according to AFP.

"I raised the possibility if that can't be done, if Indonesia and others do not agree, then we should in my view ask to have... Ukraine... attend the meetings as well," Biden said after a NATO summit in Brussels.

"Today I'm announcing the United States is prepared to commit more than $1 billion in humanitarian assistance to help get relief to millions of Ukrainians affected by the war in Ukraine. Many Ukrainian refugees will wish to stay in Europe, closer to their homes. But we also will welcome 100,000 Ukrainians to the United States with a focus on reuniting families," he added.
