Biden affirms before Zelensky that Ukraine will not be alone against Putin

MADRID, 21 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The President of the United States, Joe Biden, stated this Wednesday at a joint press conference with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodomir Zelenski, that support for kyiv is "part of something bigger" and that Ukraine "will never be alone" in the face of the war of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Ukraine has won the war in Kherson. It has won the war in Kharkov," stressed the US president, also taking advantage of his speech to criticize Putin for attacking democracy, undermining International Law and using winter "as a weapon."

The US president has dedicated a large part of his speech to detailing the military and humanitarian aid that Washington has prepared in the framework of his visit to the United States, which includes more than 374 million dollars from the United States Agency for the International Development (USAID), which will provide food for more than 1.5 million Ukrainians.

Likewise, it has officially announced the new military aid package, advanced by the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, valued at 1,850 million dollars, which includes the first shipment of Patriot anti-aircraft defense systems, which will be a "critical asset" for kyiv.

Biden has finished his speech recalling the celebration of Hanukkah. "Light will prevail over darkness," she said, stressing that Washington will be with Ukraine until necessary, since "Putin has no intention of stopping this cruel war."

In question time, he stressed that "he has never seen NATO so united". Thus, he has pointed out that the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, had the intention of weakening the Alliance and what he has done, instead, is to strengthen it. "We have never seen such a large invasion since World War II," he stressed.

For his part, Zelensky thanked Biden for the latest announcements of military aid by the Administration and has described his visit as "historic", since in recent days both nations have strengthened their diplomatic ties.
