Euskaraz irakurri: Biden ezustean Kievera joan eta Zelenskirekin bildu da

The president of United States, Joe Bidenhas arrived in kyiv this Monday, a surprise visit that had been speculated upon after confirming that it would go to Poland on the eve of the first anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Biden has been seen outside St. Michael’s Golden-Dome Monastery with Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyaccording to the newspaper The Washington Post.

At the moment, kyiv is under a strict security device. This visit, as Zelenski already suggested last week, is a clear sign of the commitment in this war of the United States, which up to now is Ukraine’s greatest financial and military support to confront Russia.

Along these lines, Biden has insisted from the beginning of the Russian invasion that Ukraine could trust the United States to be “its greatest partner in this conflict for as long as it takes,” even in the absence of short-term prospects for some peace talks.

To date, the United States has sent more than $30 billion worth of military and financial support to Ukraine, while also pressuring its NATO partners to step up arms shipments, including Leopard 2 tanks. .

The two met for the first time on December 21 during a historic visit by the Ukrainian ruler to Washington, his first trip to another continent since the war began.
