Washington, Biden said, is helping Kyiv defend itself after the Russian attack. “Russia is the attacker,” he said, adding that the international community must be held accountable.
He was referring indirectly to comments by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who stressed earlier this week that the United States and NATO were involved in an intermediary war against Russia, given the supply of large quantities of weapons to Ukraine. He described the weapons as legitimate military targets. He also warned that the current situation risks the outbreak of World War III.
Mr Biden has said the United States is ready for anything Russia does, calling Russia’s warnings about World War III and the use of nuclear weapons “irresponsible”.
Earlier, Biden justified his request to Congress to approve more $ 20 billion worth of weapons in Kyiv, stressing that Washington could not remain a passive observer.
Kyiv has already received 10 anti-tank weapons for every Russian armor, the US president assured, insisting that Washington “does not attack”.
Moscow also said yesterday that the continued deliveries of huge quantities of weapons to Ukraine by the Americans and Europeans “threaten the security of Europe.”
