CNN: Biden calls Polish/US relations 'critical' in support of Ukraine

US President Joe Biden expressed gratitude to President Duda for his nation’s dedication to aiding the people of Ukraine, emphasizing the crucial importance of the relationship between the two countries calling the relationship “critical.” Biden also stated that he is confident that Ukraine is presently in a stronger position than ever before, and urged NATO member countries to remain steadfast and focused.

President Biden vowed to continue supporting Ukraine in its second year of war, and pledged to not waver in the face of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s assault on democracy. Speaking at the same Polish castle he addressed less than a year ago, Biden accused Putin of atrocities and said his attempt to subjugate Ukraine would fail.

He used his trip to the Ukrainian capital a day earlier as evidence that the democracies of the world are growing stronger in the face of autocracy, and repeated that Kyiv remained in Ukrainian hands despite early expectations inside the Kremlin.
