‘Putin was wrong’: Biden hails unity of West and Ukrainians’ resolve in Warsaw address

In Poland, Biden says the Ukrainian capital ‘stands strong’ and ‘stands free’ and hails the courage of Kyiv’s defenders

Joe Biden proclaimed “unwavering” support for the defence of Ukraine and Nato on Tuesday, telling Vladimir Putin there would “never be a victory for Russia” in the conflict.

In a speech in Warsaw, the US president hailed the steely resolve of Kyiv less than 24 hours after his surprise visit.

One year ago, the world was “bracing” for Ukraine to fall to Moscow forces, Mr Biden said.
