US President Joe Biden has said that Ukraine would 'never be a victory for Russia' as he delivered a speech in Poland ahead of the first anniversary of Moscow's invasion | More:
Making an address in Poland, President Biden said:"A dictator bent on rebuilding an empire will never be able to ease the people's love of liberty, brutality will never grind down the will of the free. Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia - never."
"He thought autocrats like himself were tough and leaders of democracy were soft and then he met the iron will of America and nations everywhere that refused to accept a world governed by fear.""The West is not plotting to attack Russia as Putin said today. Millions of Russian citizens who only want to live in peace with their neighbours are not the enemy," he said.
Earlier, President Biden said NATO was stronger than ever ahead of the first anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Mr Biden, fresh from his surprise visit to the Ukrainian capital yesterday, delivered his speech in Warsaw today on America's ongoing commitment to NATO and its eastern flank. The United States has provided Ukraine with far more assistance than any other NATO country, with military, economic, humanitarian and other aid now exceeding $100bn.
He was driven to the train platform and quickly boarded the ten-hour overnight service to Kyiv, arriving at 8am local time.
