Joe Biden’s visit to Kyiv: important declarations
US Vice President Joe Biden said US is committed to strengthen Ukraine’s defense capacity. Speaking to The Day Nov. 20, Joe Biden said, “
“Ukraine has a full right to defend itself against the Russian aggression. We will give Ukraine defense assistance.
We will also take other steps. We are closely cooperating with our allies around the world in the bid to make Russia’s economy pay a serious price. It will have a far-reaching effect for Russia unless it changes its course,” Biden said.
The present conflict in Donbas is the result of Russia’s direct aggression, the US vice president said.
“We know that the separatists, many of them Russian mercenaries, get heavy weapons, training and funding from the Russian government.
Moreover, Russian troops with Russian tanks crossed the border into Ukraine to help the separatists fight the Ukrainian army,” he said.
Biden expected that important reforms will be started in Ukraine, assuring they will get the support of the US government.
