The President of the United States Emphasized: We Will Not Deploy Soldiers to Ukraine

The President of the United States reiterated on Saturday that he does not intend to send American soldiers to Ukraine. Joe Biden, speaking at the prestigious military academy 'West Point' graduation ceremony, implicitly responded to his Republican rival Donald Trump, who had described his approach as weak, while praising American leadership in the world. In part of his speech, he stated, 'No American soldier is currently fighting in Ukraine, and I am determined to keep it that way. However, we stand firmly with Ukraine and will continue to do so.' Biden further referred to Russian President Vladimir Putin as a 'ruthless tyrant' and noted that he was confident NATO would fall apart after the invasion of Ukraine, but this 'largest defensive alliance in history' is stronger than ever. Last month, American lawmakers finally approved a $61 billion military aid package for Ukraine after months of struggle in Congress. Since then, following the escalation of Russian attacks in the Kharkiv region, the President of the United States ordered five segments of military aid to be sent to Ukraine. Ukrainian forces retreated from areas in 'Kharkiv' following the start of a new Russian offensive in the northeastern part of the country. According to the Associated Press, despite this tactical retreat, Ukrainian soldiers are fighting against Russian invaders in other areas. During the Russian missile strikes on the city of Kharkiv on Thursday, at least seven people were killed, all of whom were reported by Ukrainian officials to be 'civilians.' Kharkiv, the second-largest city in Ukraine, is located 30 kilometers from the border with Russia. The G7 will use frozen Russian assets to assist Ukraine.
