Harder times ahead: Biden

 


US President Joe Biden visited Ukraine's capital Kiev on Monday in an unannounced visit for the first time since Russia launched an operation in Ukraine last year. After spending a few hours in Ukraine, he went to Poland. There, he only talks about Ukraine.

On reaching Warsaw, Biden met with Polish President Duda. Then he said, I came here about a year ago. A year ago people had questions about the fall of Kiev. But I'm visiting Kiev. I tell you, Kiev stands firm in its place. Kiev stands proudly. The most important thing is that Kiev stands independently.'


Biden also said that more difficult and bitter days are ahead. However, the United States and Europe will continue to stand by Ukraine in the future as well.


Biden said, "A year ago, the question was, how do we respond?" Will we be stronger or weaker? Can we stay united or not? Hope after a year everyone got the answer.


According to Biden, dictators know only one word - no, no and no. You can't take our country, you can't take our freedom, you can't take our future.


Biden told Russian President Putin that Western countries are not planning to attack Russia. Because the common people of Russia are against the attack on Ukraine. They want peace. Why would they be our enemies?


Meanwhile, Polish President Duda said that Biden's visit was amazing. How he came to Ukraine and Poland is incredible.


His visit made a very important political signal, especially for Ukraine. In addition, the United States stands by every country in the region and has not forgotten them, Duda said.


It should be noted that four days later it will be one year since the Russian attack on Ukraine. Meanwhile, Biden made a dramatic unannounced visit to Ukraine on Monday. There, Biden met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as well as First Lady Olena Zelenska.


According to a White House statement, Ukrainian President Zelensky invited Biden to visit Kiev a few months ago. Biden's visit was on that invitation, but due to his security reasons, this visit was not announced earlier


According to the American media CNN, Joe Biden was originally supposed to visit Ukraine's neighboring country Poland on Monday evening. Before that, the US president suddenly went to Kiev this morning.


Meanwhile, during his visit to Ukraine, Biden promised a $500 million military aid package for the country.


In a joint briefing with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Biden said, "We will announce $500 million in aid to Ukraine." It will contain javelins, howitzers, hummers and artillery ammunition.
