After his surprise visit to Kiev and a few days after the first anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, President Joe Biden assured this Tuesday in Warsaw that the United States will maintain “unwavering” support for Ukraine.
“There should be no doubt: our support for Ukraine will never waver, NATO will not split and we will not get tired” of maintaining that position, Biden proclaimed to a crowd gathered outside the Royal Castle in Warsaw.
“Kiev stands strong, proud, standing tall and, most importantly, free,” Biden added, stating that Russian President Vladimir Putin thought he was “tough” but ran up against the “iron will” of the United States.
Biden, who paid a surprise visit to kyiv on Monday, also denied that Western powers plan to attack Russia.

“The West is not conspiring to attack Russia, as it has said today [martes] Putin. Millions of Russian citizens who just want to live in peace with their neighbors are not the enemy,” he said.
Putin accused Western countries of “stirring up” the conflict in Ukraine and announced the suspension of the country’s participation in the New START nuclear disarmament treaty, which it signed with the United States.
However, a few hours later, the Russian Foreign Ministry assured that the country would continue to abide by the limits it imposes on the treaty until it expires in 2026.
