President Joe Biden had been eager to make the trip to Ukraine for a while. “He wanted to go last year” but it was simply “a matter of making it possible ...

He heard that presentation, he was satisfied that the risk was manageable, and he ultimately made the determination.” For security reasons, “only a handful of people in each department were involved,” said Jonathan Finer, the deputy national security adviser and, as a second U.S. In Kyiv, reports about a possible visit by the American president ahead of the one-year anniversary of the Russian invasion began circulating earlier in the day. Only two reporters traveled with Biden and both were required to give up their phones for the duration of the journey, unable to send colleagues any information or report on the trip until Biden had reached Kyiv. Sullivan declined to offer more details about the nature of the conversation or Moscow’s response. From there, Biden headed to the train station and quickly boarded a heavily-secured eight-car train with its windows drawn for the overnight journey to Kyiv. Biden’s long-anticipated travel to the country’s frazzled capital provided more than just a photo-op, but a chance to talk with Zelenskyy about a conflict with no end in sight and how much more the West can do to hasten its conclusion — and ensure it takes place on Ukraine’s terms. officials described Biden’s visit to the active war zone as “unprecedented,” citing the absence of any U.S. “He was excited about making the trip.” “They will not let me, understandably, I guess, cross the border and take a look at what’s going on in Ukraine.” “Part of my disappointment is that I can’t see it firsthand like I have in other places,” he said during a briefing on refugees. official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to provide details.

President Biden often pledges to support Ukraine in its fight against Russia "as long as it takes." The risky secret trip to the warzone is aimed at showing ...

While the trip was risky, Sullivan said Biden was confident that his security team was able to bring the risk to a "manageable level." Sullivan told reporters that Biden's trip to Kyiv was "historic" and "unprecedented" for a sitting president given that the U.S. local time, Biden arrived at the train station in Kyiv and was greeted by the U.S. Most of the train was occupied by a heavy security presence, and there was no interaction between the journalists present, the White House officials or the president during the 10 hour journey to Kyiv. National security adviser Jake Sullivan, who traveled with Biden to Kyiv, said that the White House notified the Russians of the trip "some hours" ahead of his departure for "deconfliction purposes." "I thought it was critical that there not be any doubt, none whatsoever, about U.S. Congress appropriated more than $112 billion in defense, economic and humanitarian aid last year. Air raid sirens were heard across the city as they left the church. Biden left Washington in the middle of the night Sunday from Andrews Air Force Base. Air Force One sat in darkness with the shades drawn and away from the tarmac, where it is typically parked for presidential travel. On a call with reporters, Sullivan would not go into details about how the Russians responded or the nature of the U.S. And Ukraine stands.

President Biden made a surprise visit to Kyiv, Japan announced a generous financial aid package, and a “people's court” put Putin on trial. Updates.

But prosecutors said they will present evidence that Putin committed the crime of aggression by unleashing a devastating war that has killed thousands and left towns and cities in ruins.

President Joe Biden has left Kyiv, Ukraine, after an unannounced visit to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

At the White House, planning for Biden’s visit to Kyiv was tightly held — with a relatively small group of aides briefed on the plans — because of security concerns. Until Monday, Biden’s failure to visit was making him something of a standout among Ukraine’s partners in the West, some of whom have made frequent visits to the Ukrainian capital. “The cost that Ukraine has had to bear has been extraordinarily high,” Biden said. military does not have a presence in Ukraine other than a small detachment of Marines guarding the embassy in Kyiv, making Biden’s visit more complicated than other recent visits by prior U.S. But the White House repeatedly had said that no presidential trip to Ukraine was planned, even after the Poland visit was announced. A total of 15 cities and villages have been shelled over the past 24 hours, according to the region’s Ukrainian Gov. For Zelenskyy, the symbolism of having the U.S. president got a taste of the terror that Ukrainians have lived with for close to a year when air raids sirens howled just as he and Zelenskyy wrapped up a visit to the gold-domed St. Zelenskyy said he and Biden spoke about “long-range weapons and the weapons that may still be supplied to Ukraine even though it wasn’t supplied before.” But he did not detail any new commitments. [has started to soften](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/support-for-ukraine-aid-softens-in-u-s-public-poll-says). Zelenskyy is pressing allies to speed up delivery of promised weapon systems and calling on the West to provide fighter jets — something that Biden has declined to do. The Americans stand with you, and the world stands with you.”

The Delaware Democrat is a “bridge” between the Hill, the White House and foreign capitals.

“The people of Delaware hired me to be a senator,” he told me in Munich. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), who was at the event, was impressed by the “spiritual life lesson” Coons seems to have imparted on the president. Coons doesn’t say he feels vindicated in backing Biden, though he claims many of his colleagues are “surprised” with his performance. “That’s a recognition that I have my own mind,” he said defiantly, sitting up straighter in his chair inside the U.S. troops to go into the war in Ukraine.” But Coons, according to some of his allies, regretted the statement that made it seem like the administration floated a trial balloon through him. A senior Republican Senate aide added that a Coons nomination to succeed Blinken in Foggy Bottom would be a “no brainer” for confirmation. “What I bring to the table in talking to folks here, or who are world leaders, is I get one piece of who he is, which is the part that’s connected to Delaware,” Coons said in our interview. He relayed France’s grievances to the White House and the White House’s position back to France. Coons stresses that he doesn’t speak for Biden or his administration, yet has no qualms sharing what drives the commander in chief. Back on Capitol Hill, aides like to joke that Coons is constantly hiding from his staff because he’s on the phone with the president so often. They sought him out to get a sense of Biden, the man. Though he may not hold executive power, he’s the closest thing to a direct presidential representative one can find from the ranks of Capitol Hill.

Kiev, Ucrania — El presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, hizo una visita no anunciada a Kiev el lunes para reunirse con el presidente, Volodymr Zelenskyy ...

El viaje ofrecía a Biden la oportunidad de ver de primera mano la devastación que ha llevado a Ucrania la invasión rusa. Esta es la primera visita de Biden a una zona de guerra como presidente. Había especulaciones desde hacía semanas sobre que Biden podría visitar Ucrania cerca del aniversario de la invasión rusa el 24 de febrero. La misión de Biden con su visita a Kiev, antes de un viaje anunciado a Varsovia, era subrayar que Washington está dispuesto a mantenerse junto a Ucrania “todo el tiempo que haga falta” para repeler a las fuerzas rusas, aunque los sondeos de opinión pública apuntan a que el apoyo en Occidente a proporcionar armamento y ayuda económica directa empieza a reducirse. Aunque los misiles tierra-aire occidentales han reforzado las defensas ucranianas, resulta inusual que un presidente de Estados Unidos viaje a una zona de conflicto donde Estados Unidos o sus aliados no tienen el control del espacio aéreo. El primer ministro británico, Rishi Sunak, viajó a Kiev en noviembre poco después de asumir el cargo. “Ucrania está agradecida con usted, señor presidente, con todos los ciudadanos estadounidenses, con todos los que atesoran la libertad tanto como nosotros”. Zelenskyy dijo que había hablado con Biden sobre “armas de largo alcance y las armas que aún podrían entregarse a Ucrania aunque no se hayan suministrado antes”, pero no detalló nuevos compromisos. Quizá incluso para el final de Ucrania”. Zelenskyy presiona a sus aliados para que aceleren la entrega de sistemas armamentísticos prometidos y ha pedido que Occidente proporcione cazas a Ucrania, algo que por ahora Biden ha rechazado. Los estadounidenses se alzan con ustedes y el mundo se alza con ustedes”. “Un año más tarde, Kiev resiste”, dijo Biden, que alzó un dedo en gesto en énfasis en un espacio decorado con banderas estadounidenses y ucranianas.

El presidente de Estados Unidos anuncia otro paquete de casi 470 millones de euros de ayuda militar a Ucrania.

Algunos republicanos amenazan con recortar la financiación y con la perspectiva de las elecciones presidenciales el año que viene, la guerra de Rusia en Ucrania será una parte sustancial de la campaña en EE UU. Los estadounidenses están con vosotros y el mundo está con vosotros”, ha añadido con solemnidad Biden, que ha advertido de que aunque la guerra de Putin “está fracasando”, quedan “días, semanas y años muy difíciles”. “Más adelante, esta misma semana, anunciaremos sanciones adicionales contra las élites y las empresas que intentan evadir las sanciones y respaldar la maquinaria de guerra rusa”, ha avanzado Biden. Estados Unidos ha comprometido unos 30.000 millones de dólares en asistencia de seguridad para Ucrania y, en las últimas semanas, ha acordado proporcionar varios de sus modernos tanques Abrams 1, que se unirán a los Leopard 2 alemanes que Berlín y varios países europeos proporcionarán mediante una coalición para ese envío que está tardando en arrancar. “Es imposible”, zanjó en una conversación con el reportero de EL PAÍS en medio de uno de esos embotellamientos. Con el sonido de la alerta antiaérea de fondo —debido a un avión de combate que despegó desde Bielorrusia, según los medios ucranios—, Biden y Zelenski han visitado juntos la catedral de San Miguel de las Cúpulas Doradas y han caminado unos metros por el centro de Kiev. Las conversaciones, ha dicho el líder ucranio, que definió la visita como “la más importante en las relaciones entre EE UU y Ucrania”, han sido “muy fructíferas”. Durante la mañana, fría pero soleada, con cielos azules, como casi cada día han sonado las alertas antiaéreas en muchos puntos del país; también en la imponente capital ucrania, con el centro blindado por las medidas de seguridad y donde los atascos han paralizado la circulación. “Sabía que volvería [a Kiev]”, ha remarcado Biden, que tiene una larga y compleja relación con Ucrania desde su época como vicepresidente de la Administración de Barack Obama. La visita por sorpresa se produce cuando el Kremlin ya ha empezado su nueva ofensiva en distintos puntos de Donbás —una región siempre caliente y sangrienta— y el Ejecutivo ucranio ha advertido de que Putin está preparando otro bombardeo a gran escala con misiles, que coincidirá con el aniversario del conflicto. “Pensó que podría sobrevivir a nosotros, pero estaba completamente equivocada”, ha añadido el presidente estadounidense, quien ha asegurado que el compromiso de EE UU con “la democracia, la soberanía y la integridad territorial de Ucrania” es inquebrantable.

Varios de los principales funcionarios de Biden, incluidos el secretario de Estado Antony Blinken y el secretario de Defensa Lloyd Austin, también visitaron la capital ucraniana para prometer nueva asistencia. Biden ha estado ansioso por visitar Ucrania durante meses, particularmente después de que varios de sus homólogos en Europa soportaron largos viajes en tren para reunirse con Zelensky en Kyiv. La visita de Biden llega en un momento crítico en el conflicto de 12 meses, con Rusia preparándose para una esperada ofensiva de primavera y Ucrania esperando retomar territorio pronto. “Creo que es el líder de los Estados Unidos, y es por eso que debería venir aquí para verlo”, dijo Zelensky en abril durante una entrevista con Jake Tapper de CNN. Está previsto que el presidente esté en Varsovia este martes, donde se reunirá con el presidente polaco, Andrzej Duda, dijo la Casa Blanca este domingo. “El pueblo ucraniano ha dado un paso al frente de una manera que pocas personas lo han hecho en el pasado”, agregó.

Our North America editor on how Joe Biden's audacious trip to Kyiv was kept a secret.

Monday's message is designed to vividly counter the minority of Republican voices who question for how long the US can continue supporting Ukraine. President Biden then spent 10 hours on a train to get to Kyiv. He said the US "did so for deconfliction purposes… Only two journalists were allowed to travel with the president. They were sworn to secrecy and had their mobile phones taken away from them. In fact, Air Force One took off at 04:15 EST on Sunday morning.

El viaje de Biden a Kiev "fue un movimiento audaz y fuerte" por parte del presidente para dejar claro el respaldo de su administración a la causa ucraniana.

"No me dejan, supongo que comprensiblemente, cruzar la frontera y echar un vistazo a lo que está pasando en Ucrania". Mientras volaba hacia el este, Biden se centró en planificar sus conversaciones con Zelensky, con la esperanza de utilizar sabiamente su tiempo para hablar de los próximos meses de lucha. Esta vez, con un mayor número de medios aéreos estadounidenses vigilando de cerca la frontera polaca, Biden podría hacer el viaje. Durante esa visita, hace 11 meses, aludió a lo que se convirtió en un viejo deseo de prolongar su viaje un poco más hacia Ucrania. El domingo no se avisó a los periodistas que Biden ya no estaba en Washington. La agenda oficial de la Casa Blanca, hecha pública el domingo por la noche, seguía indicando su salida hacia Polonia este lunes a las 7 p.m. El avance de la guerra en los próximos meses dependerá en gran medida del apoyo continuado de Estados Unidos, que Biden prometió este lunes que sería incesante. La decisión final se tomó en una reunión en el Despacho Oval el viernes por la noche, cuando Biden dio luz verde definitiva.

The go-ahead for the trip was given only on Friday, according to White House officials, after receipt of a final security briefing. “He got a full presentation of a very good and very effective operational security plan. That, White House officials are saying, is the distinction between this trip and previous presidential visits to Afghanistan and Iraq. “We did notify the Russians that President Biden will be travelling to Kyiv,” Sullivan said. In the end, however, Biden was insistent that he should visit the Ukrainian capital, which became a symbol of resistance to the invasion during the battle of Kyiv in the early weeks of the war, when Russia tried to take the city. “But of course, there was still risk and is still risk in an endeavour like this, and President Biden felt that it was important to make this trip because of the critical juncture that we find ourselves at as we approach the one-year anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.”

On a sunny day with blue skies and a brisk chill in the air, Mr. On the long meandering train ride back to Poland, the senior official said the president issued a series of directions on military, economic and diplomatic areas to help Ukraine. Biden crossed the border into Ukraine, his office back in Washington issued a public schedule falsely stating that the president was still in the nation’s capital and not planning to leave for Europe until Monday evening. Biden was put in a motorcade with roughly 20 cars and driven without sirens for about an hour along a mostly empty highway to the small city of Przemyśl and taken to the train station where many thousands of refugees have arrived from Ukraine over the past year. The president spent the ride recalling his previous trips to Kyiv, including a speech to the Ukrainian Parliament and his remarks on his final trip in 2017. In this case, the White House decided to put it on the front end in hopes of keeping the secret. The president played his part in the ruse. They were taken not to the usual blue and white Boeing 747 designated as Air Force One when the president is on board but to an Air Force C-32, more typically used for domestic trips to airports with shorter runways. “Of course there was still risk, and is still risk, in an endeavor like this,” Jake Sullivan, the president’s national security adviser, told reporters by phone from the train as it departed Kyiv for the return trip to Poland. Biden’s lifetime had a president ventured into a war zone that was not under the control of American forces, much less on a relatively slow-moving locomotive that would take nine and a half hours to reach its destination.

But one obvious hurdle was how to provide security without committing U.S. They were not given a reason, only that it was “nonnegotiable,” according another administration officials. It was Zelenskyy's first travel outside Ukraine since the start of the war. They even included a call to Russian officials hours before Biden departed for “deconfliction” purposes, national security adviser Jake Sullivan would later tell reporters.

“I do have to say that there is a concern, both in Poland and in Ukraine, about the staying power of the US beyond this administration. He and his aides have sought to downplay the prospect Republicans might sharply reduce American aid to Ukraine, noting GOP leaders are largely aligned in their support. “I mean, it’s really whether time is on the side of Russia, who is losing but has a lot of resources to deplete us in the West. It has caused convulsions in the global economy and created political problems at home while still providing Biden an opening to demonstrate his oft-recited claim that “America is back.” Instead, the war has become what NATO’s chief Jens Stoltenberg described last week as a “grinding war of attrition” without a discernible end. In the US, some conservative Republicans have balked at providing any more aid to Ukraine, though the party’s leaders appear unwavering in their support. “The fact is that we are fighting with time, right?” Baranowski said. Despite humiliating setbacks for his military and an apparent power struggle between the mercenary Wagner Group and the Russian defense ministry, Russia has recently made gains in the east. From the Warsaw castle, Biden intends to recommit to supporting Ukraine, even as the costs mount and public support appears to wane. In meetings with Poland’s President Andrzej Duda and other eastern European allies, he’ll reiterate his commitment to those countries’ security. There are currently no serious efforts at negotiating an end to the fighting.

"Then all of a sudden it reaches a certain point, and then all the water starts spreading out from that sponge." "That is why we have to put all of these things in place."

El presidente Joe Biden llegó el lunes a Varsovia después de un viaje en tren de más de ocho horas desde Kiev, en lo que fue su primera visita a Ucrania.

Biden tomó el tren a las 1:10 hora local de Kiev y llegó a la estación de ferrocarril de Przemyśl, en el sureste de Polonia y cerca de la frontera con Ucrania, a las 8:45 hora local. Por primera vez desde que inició la invasión de Rusia a Ucrania, el 24 de febrero de 2022, el presidente estadounidense viajó a Kiev y se reunió con el presidente Volodymyr Zelenskyy y anunció apoyo adicional por $500 millones en ayuda militar en un gesto de solidaridad con los ucranianos. VARSOVIA - El presidente Joe Biden llegó este lunes por la noche a Varsovia después de un viaje en tren de más de ocho horas desde Kiev hasta la ciudad fronteriza de Przemyśl y de un vuelo en el Air Force One hasta la capital polaca.

Ha causado convulsiones en la economía global y ha creado problemas políticos en casa, al mismo tiempo que le brinda a Biden una oportunidad para demostrar su afirmación tan repetida de que “Estados Unidos está de regreso”.

No es suficiente para Zelensky, que quiere armas más pesadas y aviones de combate. Y ese es el tiempo que estaremos con usted, señor presidente, el tiempo que sea necesario”, La sorprendente resistencia del pueblo ucraniano, junto con la inesperada ineptitud de las fuerzas rusas, han impedido una toma total del poder. Desde el castillo de Varsovia Biden tiene la intención de volver a comprometerse a apoyar a Ucrania, incluso cuando los costos aumentan y el apoyo público parece disminuir. [esperaban evitar personalizar el conflicto de Ucrania](https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/20/europe/russia-reaction-biden-ukraine-visit-intl/index.html), esto terminó mucho antes del aniversario de la invasión que se cumple esta semana. Las tropas de Putin parecen estar listas para tomar la ciudad de Bajmut, la primera victoria militar rusa significativa en meses. Según altos funcionarios estadounidenses y europeos, los objetivos de Putin no han cambiado desde que lanzó su invasión hace un año. Este martes, cada uno volverá a participar en un concurso de retórica a distancia, pronunciando importantes discursos para conmemorar un año desde que Rusia lanzó su invasión. Actualmente no hay esfuerzos serios para negociar el fin de los combates.

The US president is expected to try and shore up support for Kyiv during his speech in Poland later.

In his speech a stone's throw from the Kremlin, President Putin again blamed the West for Russia's invasion, complaining of Western hypocrisy and of withdrawing from "fundamental agreements". US President Joe Biden is expected to lay out his view of the war in Ukraine as a battle for democracy during a speech later on Tuesday. In Warsaw, the US president is expected to stress the vital role the United States has played in galvanising Western backing for Ukraine against Russian aggression.

A las 9.15, ya en Przemysl Glowny, todo el sequito recibió la orden de subirse a un tren. La locomotora entró en Kiev cuando salía el sol y a las 8.07 el presidente de Estados Unidos bajaba por su propio pie en la estación. Ahora lo hacía en condición de jefe máximo de EE.UU. La reacción de Putin es uno de los misterios que, por ahora, no está resuelto. Evan Vucci, el fotoperiodista de AP, no vio al presidente de Estados Unidos ni antes ni durante el viaje. Sabrina Siddiqui, la reportera del Wall Street Journal, una vez que la autorizaron a contar los detalles, escribió que a ella y al fotógrafo les citaron en la base de Andrés, exactamente, a las 02.15 am. A las 4 de la madrugada hora local, Biden abordo el Boeing 757, más conocido como C-32. El secreto de las personas que acompañaron en la comitiva al hombre, hoy por hoy, más poderoso del mundo, se mantuvo. La hoja de ruta marcada tenía como destino Polonia. Unos 15 minutos más tarde, según detalla The Kiev Post, el personal de seguridad que acompaña al presidente subió las escalerillas de este avión. Aquel viaje del sucesor de Donal Trump a la frontera servía en bandeja la tentación de dar ese paso. Ambos entregaron sus teléfonos móviles y empeñaron su palabra que seguirían al pie de la letra las instrucciones.

"The west was not plotting to attack Russia, as Putin said today, and millions of Russian citizens only want to live in peace with their neighbors are not the enemy," Biden said. No one, no one can turn away their eyes from the atrocities Russia is committing against the Ukrainian people." He also said he was suspending Russia's participation in the New START arms control treaty. Our support for Ukraine will not waver.

President Joe Biden will speak in Poland after he made a secret 23-hour trip to Kyiv, Ukraine, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and ...

The speech also came hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke to a joint session of Russia's parliament. The Americans stand with you, and the world stands with you." "This is the largest land war in Europe in three-quarters of a century and you're succeeding against all and every expectation except your own. The president argued that the war is part of a global struggle between authoritarianism and democracy. We have every confidence that you're going to continue to prevail," Biden said in Kyiv on Monday. It's an argument he's long made as president, advocating for democracy in the U.S.

President Joe Biden addressed the world on Tuesday from Warsaw, Poland, just days ahead of the one-year mark of Russia's violent invasion of Ukraine.

"The Americans stand with you, and the world stands with you." "This is an affirmative statement of values, a vision for what the world we're both trying to build and defend should look like." "And while decisions are ours to make now, the principles and the stakes are eternal. Biden made a surprise visit to Kyiv on Monday, marking the first time an American president entered a warzone with no active U.S. "One year later, Kyiv stands and Ukraine stands. Putin did not mention Biden directly in his remarks, and though Biden repeatedly blasted Putin by name in his, Sullivan stressed earlier that Biden's speech shouldn't be seen as a response to Putin. "President Putin is confronted with something today that he didn't think was possible a year ago," he continued. Duda publicly thanked Biden for visiting Ukraine. "He doubts our staying power. America, Europe, a coalition of nations for the Atlantic to the Pacific, we were too unified. No, you will not take my future.'" No, you will not take my freedom.

President Joe Biden's trip to Poland comes as Russia has started what is expected to be a fierce spring assault in Ukraine.

24, 2022, Biden highlighted the United States support of the country and vowed to continue to provide support for the duration of the war. He attributed the action to the U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan in a call with reporters declined to comment on Putin's speech, as it was ongoing at the time. And he delivered a similar message in Poland, highlighting how the United States has rallied international support around Ukraine and punished Russia for its aggression. If Ukraine stopped defending itself against Russia, it would be the end of Ukraine." He traveled to the country last March, just weeks after the war in Ukraine began to present a united front with U.S. and allies "do not seek to control or destroy Russia" and pushing back at Putin’s claim that the West is plotting to attack Russia. The package would include more military equipment, including artillery ammunition; more Javelins, an anti-tank missile system; and howitzers, or long-range artillery weapons, Biden said. It is a symbolic visit here to our region," Duda said, according to a translator. The autocrats in the world have gotten weaker, not stronger." Although Biden announced new assistance to the war-ravaged ally, and the Kremlin.

Biden's speech in Poland followed a surprise visit to Kyiv, days before the one-year mark since Russia invaded Ukraine.

"We have examined the evidence. "This has been an extraordinary year in every sense," Biden said. Millions of Russian citizens who only want to live in peace with their neighbors are not the enemy." Over the weekend, Vice President Kamala Harris said the U.S. "The West was not planning to attack Russia. The U.S. While in Kyiv, the U.S. Biden's speech also came hours after Putin spoke in front of a joint session of the country's Parliament. He said the Kremlin had advance notice that Biden would travel to Kyiv. "One year ago, the world was bracing for the fall of Kyiv," Biden said at the Warsaw Royal Castle Gardens as the crowd waved Polish flags. "One year into this war, Putin no longer doubts the strength of our coalition, but he still doubts our conviction. commitment to Ukraine, which aims to repel a renewed Russian assault that began shortly before the one-year anniversary of the conflict.

(CNN) — El presidente Joe Biden conmemoró este martes el año desde la invasión rusa de Ucrania, celebrando la fortaleza y la resistencia del presidente ...

La guerra ha causado convulsiones en la economía global y ha creado problemas políticos en casa, al mismo tiempo que le brinda a Biden una oportunidad para demostrar su tan repetida frase de que “Estados Unidos está de regreso”. “Quiero decir, realmente el tiempo está del lado de Rusia, que está perdiendo pero tiene muchos recursos para agotarnos en Occidente. Esta guerra sería completamente diferente sin el apoyo de los Estados Unidos”, dijo Michal Baranowski, director gerente en Varsovia del German Marshall Fund. Si alguna vez hubo un momento en que Biden y sus asistentes esperaban evitar personalizar el conflicto de Ucrania, eso ocurrió mucho antes del aniversario de esta semana. Biden agradeció a Duda por el compromiso de su país de apoyar al pueblo de Ucrania y calificó la relación entre las dos naciones de “crucial, crucial, crucial”. Mientras tanto, la semana pasada surgieron nuevas preocupaciones sobre los suministros disponibles de municiones y armas, una clara indicación de que Occidente no puede brindar apoyo ilimitado para siempre, ni logística ni políticamente. Y ese es el tiempo que estaremos con usted, señor presidente, el tiempo que sea necesario”, dijo Biden a Zelensky en Kiev este lunes. Al visitar la región esta semana, Biden esperaba volver a dar un grito de guerra para Ucrania, demostrando a Putin y a Rusia que la determinación occidental no se está debilitando. Actualmente no hay esfuerzos serios para negociar el fin de los combates. El mundo entero se enfrentó a una prueba para la eternidad”, dijo. Según altos funcionarios estadounidenses y europeos, los objetivos de Putin no han cambiado desde que lanzó su invasión hace un año. Se mantiene orgullosa, se mantiene erguida y, lo que es más importante, se mantiene libre”, dijo Biden.

El presidente de Estados Unidos afirma en un discurso en Varsovia por el aniversario de la guerra que “Occidente no tiene intención de atacar a Rusia”

Es licenciada en Ciencias de la Información por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. “Tenemos que tener seguridad en Europa”, indicó Biden durante la reunión en el palacio presidencial en Varsovia. Antes de regresar a Washington, Biden tiene previsto reunirse este miércoles también en Varsovia con el secretario general de la Alianza Atlántica, Jens Stoltenberg, y los miembros del llamado grupo Bucarest-9: los países de la antigua esfera soviética, hoy integrantes de la OTAN y, generalmente, partidarios de un apoyo más contundente a Ucrania que otros socios europeos. Es la corresponsal de EL PAÍS en Asia. Por su parte, Duda recordaba que la invasión rusa “ha causado una tragedia y una catástrofe para millones de habitantes de Ucrania, y ha provocado una enorme crisis tanto de seguridad como económica y humanitaria en todo el mundo”. Ambos líderes se sentaron en el centro de una larga mesa, flanqueada por las banderas de las dos naciones. Muchos se habían ataviado con los colores azul y amarillo de la bandera ucrania (símbolos del cielo y el cereal), los mismos que adornaban el escenario en los arcos Kubicki donde Biden pronunció su alocución. “Es un importante mensaje al mundo de que la seguridad de Polonia está garantizada”, subrayó Duda.
