WASHINGTON - US President Joe Biden will be “messaging” Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin when he speaks in Warsaw next week, while hailing Nato’s unprecedented effort to help Ukrainians save their country as the war reaches the one-year mark.
Instead, Mr Biden will be commemorating the partnership between Nato countries and what was to many an unexpectedly well-organised Ukrainian military, which has not only repelled Russian forces from the capital but recaptured swaths of territory. “President Biden will make it clear that the United States will continue to stand with Ukraine... for as long as it takes,” he told reporters on Friday.
The White House would not say what specific aid Biden might announce during his trip, but Kirby said Ukraine will be reassured about receiving “continued, tangible support.” Nato countries are now sending modern tanks, as well as large numbers of armored fighting vehicles, such as the tank-killing US Bradley, that will be crucial in an expected attempt to push the Russians further back in the spring.
