President Joe Biden on Tuesday warned of 'hard and bitter days ahead' as Russia's invasion of Ukraine nears the one-year mark, but he vowed that no matter what, the United States and allies 'will not waver' in supporting the Ukrainians.
WARSAW, Poland -- President Joe Biden on Tuesday warned of"hard and bitter days ahead" as Russia's invasion of Ukraine nears the one-year mark, but he vowed that no matter what, the United States and allies"will not waver" in supporting the Ukrainians.
"Democracies of the world will stand guard over freedom today, tomorrow and forever," Biden declared. The U.S. and allies will"have Ukraine's back." The president also declared"the democracies of the world have grown stronger" while the world's autocrats -- including Putin -- have become weaker. He described NATO as"maybe the most consequential alliance in history," and he said it's"stronger than it's ever been" despite the Russian leader's hopes that it would fracture over the war in Ukraine.
While Biden was in Poland, Putin announced that Moscow would suspend its participation in the last remaining nuclear arms control pact with the United States. While Biden is looking to use his whirlwind trip to Europe as a moment of affirmation for Ukraine and allies, the White House has also acknowledged that there is no clear endgame to the war in the near term, and the situation on the ground has become increasingly complex.
