Russian Invasion: “We Stood Against Putin’s Aggression, We Stood With The Ukrainians,” Says Biden

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has been a test for the ages, and a test for the world, US President Joe Biden has said as he slammed his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin for his military aggression.

“I spoke from this chamber one year ago, just days after Vladimir Putin unleashed his brutal war against Ukraine. A murderous assault, evoking images of the death and destruction Europe suffered in World War II,” Biden said in his address to a Joint Session of the US Congress on Tuesday night. President Putin launched a ‘special military operation’ in eastern Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

A Series Of Questions By Biden

“Putin’s invasion has been a test for the ages. A test for America. A test for the world. Would we stand for the most basic of principles? Would we stand for sovereignty? Would we stand for the right of people to live free from tyranny? Would we stand for the defense of democracy?” Biden posed a series of questions in his second State of the Union Address.

“For such a defense matters to us because it keeps the peace and prevents open season for would-be aggressors to threaten our security and prosperity. One year later, we know the answer. Yes, we would. And yes, we did. Together, we did what America always does at our best,” he said amidst applause from the Congressmen.

The United States, he said, united NATO and built a global coalition. “We stood against Putin’s aggression. We stood with the Ukrainian people,” Biden said. Among those present in the audience was Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United States Oksana Markarova.

“She represents not just her nation, but the courage of her people. Ambassador, America is united in our support for your country. We will stand with you as long as it takes,” said the president.
The United States, he said, is working for more freedom, more dignity, and more peace, not just in Europe, but everywhere
