What Biden said about Ukraine

Joe Biden said that Vladimir Putin is persecuting his citizens and even citizens of other countries. The US President called for a look at what is happening in Ukraine.

This tragedy reminds us what is at stake. We need to continue to fund Ukraine so that Ukraine can defend itself against Putin's terrible aggression. From his crimes. If we fail to support Ukraine at this critical moment, history will not forget it. This will go down in history and will have huge consequences. Time is running. The clock is ticking. We all need to understand that we are dealing with Putin,” said Joe Biden.

As for Ukraine, Biden assured that the United States must “provide funding so that Ukraine can continue defend themselves.”

The American leader recalled that the US House of Representatives is going on vacation for two weeks and will begin working only on February 28.
