The US will not stop supporting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, President Joe Biden said in his State of the Union address on Thursday night.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is hell-bent on “sowing chaos around Europe,” Biden claimed.
“If anybody in this room thinks Putin will stop in Ukraine, I assure you he will not,” Biden told Congress. He went on to renew his appeal to House Republicans to stop blocking additional military aid to Kiev.
“Ukraine can stop Putin if we stand with Ukraine and provide the weapons it needs to defend itself,” he said.
Addressing legislators and foreign dignitaries at the US Capitol, Biden reiterated that his administration has no plans to send American troops to directly fight Russia.
