Biden’s speech in Poland considered a ‘world-class’ event

Polish President Andrzej Duda believes a two-day visit by US President Joe Biden on the eve of the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will lead to events of global significance.
Biden arrived in Poland on Monday evening after a surprise visit to Ukraine.
The White House said that during a visit to Poland, he plans to speak with leaders of nine countries on NATO’s eastern flank and deliver a speech on “how the United States rallied the world to support the Ukrainian people”.
“I have no doubt that President Biden’s visit to Poland and his speech in Warsaw will be world events,” Polish President Andrzej Duda said at the Munich security conference.
Polish leaders point out that this is Biden’s second visit to Poland in the past year, a country that offers significant military and humanitarian aid to Kiev.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who was also in Munich on Saturday, said Biden “will make a very important speech in Poland next week.”
“I think it’s safe to say that he will most likely talk about how far we’ve come together over the past year, where we are today and, as I said, our commitment. continued commitment to Ukraine’s success, which is our common success,” Blinken said.
The president will make it clear that the United States will support Ukraine “as long as it takes,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said Biden’s speech would be “much more meaningful and influential” than Russian President Vladimir Putin’s speech to the Federal Assembly on Tuesday.
Putin sent troops to Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The fierce resistance of the Ukrainians and the supply of Western weapons forced Moscow to reduce the ambition of its objectives. However, the diplomatic consequences of years of war reverberated around the world.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden intended to send a “powerful message of solidarity” during his visit to Poland.
In a statement announcing his trip to Ukraine, Biden said he looked forward to traveling to Poland “to meet with President Duda and the leaders of our allies on the eastern flank.”
Biden also announced that he would “deliver a speech on how the United States will continue to hold the world together to stand with the people of Ukraine and the key values, rights, and human dignity enshrined in the United States Charter.” United Nations that unites us all over the world”. .”
Poland, a NATO member, has been a constant ally of Ukraine, providing humanitarian and military assistance to Kiev. The country has taken in millions of Ukrainian refugees who have crossed the border and donated billions of dollars worth of weapons and other aid to the government of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy .
