U.S. President Joe Biden has assured Kyiv of Washington’s unwavering support in its fight against the Russian invasion. During a state visit to France, Biden warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin would not stop his aggression with Ukraine, indicating a broader threat to Europe.
Standing alongside French President Emmanuel Macron, Biden emphasized that Putin’s ambitions could threaten the entire continent. “Putin is not going to stop at Ukraine,” Biden said. “All of Europe will be threatened, we are not going to let that happen.”
Commitment to Ukraine’s Cause
Biden firmly stated, “The United States is standing strong with Ukraine. We will not, I say it again, walk away.” This strong commitment underscores the U.S. stance on the ongoing conflict and its implications for European security.
President Macron expressed gratitude for Biden’s leadership, highlighting the importance of U.S.-European solidarity. “I thank you, Mr. President, for being the president of the world’s number one power but doing it with the loyalty of a partner who likes and respects the Europeans,” Macron said.
Both leaders met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Paris, reaffirming their support for Ukraine. This meeting reflects the ongoing international efforts to support Ukraine amid the conflict with Russia.
Biden’s Visit to France
Biden has been in France since Wednesday, participating in the 80th-anniversary commemorations of the D-Day landings. These historic events marked a turning point in World War II, drawing parallels to the current situation in Ukraine.
On Friday, Biden stressed the importance of preserving American democracy, linking the challenges of World War II to the current crisis in Ukraine. This statement comes as Biden prepares for the upcoming presidential elections, where he will face his Republican rival and predecessor, Donald Trump.

Commentators predict the election will be a significant test for U.S. democracy. Trump has previously shown a lack of interest in international organizations, including NATO, which contrasts with Biden’s emphasis on allied cooperation.
Allied Strength and Unity
Biden concluded, “We have shown the world again the power of allies and what we can achieve when we stand together.” This statement underscores the importance of international unity in addressing global threats.
President Biden’s visit to France and his strong statements on Ukraine reflect a continued commitment to supporting allies and defending democratic values against authoritarian aggression. As the world watches the unfolding events in Ukraine, the solidarity of international partners remains crucial.
