President Joe Biden framed the war in Ukraine as the battle of a generation in the fight for democracy as he sought to rally the world's support behind the embattled nation.
as the battle of a generation in the fight for democracy as he sought to rally the world's support behind the embattled nation.
"A dictator bent on rebuilding an empire will never be able to erase the people’s love for liberty. Brutality will never grind down the will to be free. Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia, for free people refuse to live in a world of hopelessness, of darkness," Biden said.Biden made multiple references to popular historic Polish figures, like Pope John Paul II and former president Lech Wałęsa, and referenced the battles Poland has faced over the years for freedom.
"This is not who you are, this is not the future you deserve for your families and your children," Biden said. "This war is not worthy of you, the Russian people. Putin can, and must end this war." When asked by a journalist about reports of a change in Russian strategy, Biden sounded a skeptical note. "I’m not sure they have," he said. A Russian general said Friday that forces are shifting away from their countrywide attack on Ukraine and refocusing on the “complete liberation” of the country’s separatist Donbas region.
