Western countries cannot get tired of supporting Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression. A just peace must be achieved, stated US President Joe Biden at the UN General Assembly.
The American leader emphasized that Russian President Vladimir Putin's war has failed in its primary objective of destroying Ukraine. Furthermore, the Kremlin head has not weakened NATO—the Alliance is now larger, stronger, and more united than ever, with two new members, Finland and Sweden. This is good news.
According to Biden, the West now faces a choice: whether to continue supporting Ukraine to help it win the war and preserve freedom, or to allow aggression to resume and the nation to be destroyed.
"I know my answer. We cannot grow weary. We cannot look away and we will not let up on our support for Ukraine, not until Ukraine wins a just and durable peace in the UN charter," Biden said.
