“Sic told the president [of Ukraine, Voldymyr] Zelensky, when I spoke to him in Kiev yesterday, I can say that our support for Ukraine continues to be steadfast”, said US President Joe Biden.
Biden's visit to Warsaw comes after he visited Kiev the day before, where he stayed over five hours.
The unprecedented visit to Ukraine was the first since Russia began the invasion of this country nearly a year ago. It underlined Washington's decision of Kiev once again.
Beden met with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, at Mariyinskiy Palace in the centre of the Ukrainian capital on February 20th.
“A year later, Kiev stands at”, Biden said, speaking from a decorated podium with US and Ukraine flags.
And Ukraine stands. Democracy stands. Americans stay with you and the world stays with you”
“Ukraine stands. Democracy stands. Americans stay with you and the world stays with you”, he said.
He added that the US is preparing a new shipment of “critical equipment” to Ukraine, which, as he said, would include artillery and air surveillance radar ammunition worth $500m. Biden also warned new sanctions against the Russian state.
The United States is one of the largest relief providers for the Ukrainian Army. Since the beginning of the Russian occupation on February 24th of last year, Washington has sent protection and logistics equipment worth tens of billions of dollars. / REL
