HOUSTON: US President Biden arrived at the Polish border with Ukraine on Friday. He indicated that the Russian military was reducing its war targets. This comes after a month – long war in which Russian troops unexpectedly faced Ukrainian resistance and failed to capture major cities across the country. Maj. Gen. Sergei Rudskoi said Russia was now focusing on defeating Ukrainian forces in the eastern Donbass region, which has been fighting Russian-backed separatists since 2014. “The first phase of the operation has been completed,” he said, adding that “Ukraine’s fighting strength has been significantly reduced.” But it is not clear if the major conflict will end: Russian forces will not ‘avoid’ attacking major cities such as the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, although their takeover is not the primary goal, he said.
Russia’s announcement comes at a time when the devastating effects of the war on civilians are calling for everlasting relief. On Friday, officials in the besieged city of Mariupol announced that at least 300 people had been killed in an attack last week on a local theater used as a refuge.
President Biden began his day by promising to help the European Union secure more liquefied natural gas, a key sign of support for the group’s pursuit of liberation from Russian fuel imports, and hopes that further action will be challenged. President Biden meets with U.S. troops On Friday, Polish-based troops attacked Russian President Vladimir V, who had invaded Ukraine a month earlier – on the Polish border. Putin was thanked for acting as a very visible defense. Biden said US troops would not set foot in Ukraine, where they would not go directly into conflict with Russian troops. Biden said the move could lead to a wider and more dangerous world war between the nuclear and armed forces.
But he also promised that the United States would respect its obligations to protect any NATO country from aggression. Ukraine is not a member of the 30 – member European Defense Alliance – but Poland is not. Biden visited about a dozen service members from the 82nd Airborne Division at the Arena near Russo Airport, 50 miles from the Ukrainian border. He greeted the three men sitting in the chairs at the front of the room. A few minutes later he joined a group of service members eating pizza in a cafeteria. He calls them ‘the greatest fighting force in world history’ and ‘I personally thank you for what you do.’ എന്നറിയിച്ചു. He told a short story about his stay in Iraq with his dead son, Beau Biden, a Major in the Delaware Army National Guard, and then sat down to eat pizza with them.
In the run-up to the Russian occupation, Biden sent an additional 5,500 troops to strengthen the military presence in the eastern part of NATO and send a message. Putin said direct military action against members of the coalition should not be considered. At the same time, part of the deployment is intended to assist Polish officials, who hope that if the threat of Russian aggression is rectified, there will be an influx of refugees across the border. In fact, what most officials predicted was a larger and faster-than-expected mass migration. Despite working with the Polish army to boost the country’s defenses, the 82-year-old has assisted in humanitarian efforts over the past few weeks. President Biden arrived in Rzeso, Poland, on Friday afternoon to scrutinize the human dimensions of what he calls President Vladimir V. Putin’s “election war” that has displaced millions.
Biden received a briefing on what has become the largest refugee movement in Europe for decades. The briefing took place at Russo Airport, which has become a hub for evacuation of people from Ukraine and a logistics hub for the delivery of humanitarian and military aid to the country. Biden said the United States would accept up to 100,000 people from Ukraine – a significant increase in the number of refugees arriving in the United States each year, but more than 3.5 million Ukrainians have left their homes and fled to Poland and elsewhere in Europe.
“Our hearts are open and our weapons are open to help the more than three million Ukrainian refugees who have already fled Putin’s attacks,” Biden said in a statement to the White House before leaving for Europe. The United States on Thursday pledged $ 1 billion in additional humanitarian aid to help care for displaced people. Biden will receive a briefing on the matter from Samantha Power, director of the USAID, which works to process the flow of people from Ukraine to Europe, and other humanitarian officials. On Saturday, he will leave Ukraine and visit the Polish capital, Warsaw, with temporary refugees.
Until Monday, hundreds of Ukrainians were queuing at the National Stadium in Warsaw to receive Polish identification numbers. Biden’s visit to Russo on Friday was set aside for such humanitarian consideration. Biden was located near Prazemisel, the largest crossing point for refugees between Ukraine and Poland. In the last few weeks this small town has become a huge aid machine. More than 500,000 Ukrainian refugees passed through the city, mostly women and children, Mayor Wojciech Bakun said.
