President Joe Biden vowed to support Ukraine until victory in its war against Russia at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday.
Since the war began more than two years ago, Biden said, “our NATO allies and partners and 50 plus nations stood up” against Russia.
“Most importantly, the Ukrainian people stood up. I asked the people in this chamber to stand up for them,” Biden said.
“The good news is, Putin’s war has failed, and as has his core aim,” Biden added. “He set out to destroy Ukraine, but Ukraine is still free. He set out to weaken NATO, but NATO is bigger, stronger, more united than ever before, with two new members, Finland and Sweden.”
“But we cannot let up,” the president added – an allusion to the uncertain future of support for Ukraine both in the US, where former President Donald Trump is seeking another term in office and could implement serious cuts to aid to Ukraine, and around the world.
