President Biden on Tuesday declared that Ukraine and its capital remain free despite Russia’s yearlong invasion and offered unwavering support for the war-torn country.
“One year ago, the world was bracing for the fall of Kyiv. Well, I have just come from a visit to Kyiv and I can report that Kyiv stands strong. It stands tall and it stands free,” Mr. Biden said in remarks from the Royal Castle in Warsaw, Poland.
“We did respond, we would be strong, we would be united and the world would not look the other way,” Mr. Biden said to applause from the thousands of onlookers waving Polish, U.S. and Ukrainian flags.The president also underscored the brutality of Russia’s actions in its war against Ukraine, accusing Moscow of committing “crimes against humanity” during its war.
“This has been an extraordinary year in every sense. Extraordinary brutality from Russian forces and mercenaries. They’ve committed depravities, crimes against humanity without shame or compunction,” Mr. Biden said.
