Hear Biden’s corpulent remarks on United States’ persevered make stronger for Ukraine

HAKEEM JEFFRIES HAS 200 OTHER — >> STRAIGHT TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. >>> YESTERDAY MARKED 11 MONTHS SINCE RUSSIA'S BRUTAL FULL-SCALE INVASION OF UKRAINE. 11 MONTHS IN WHICH UKRAINIAN PEOPLE HAVE SHOWED PUTIN AND THE.

WORLD THE FULL FORCE OF THEIR COURAGE AND THE INDOMITABLE DETERMINATION TO LIVE FREE. AND THROUGH EVERY SINGLE STEP OF THIS HORRIFIC WAR, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN STRONG AND UNWAVERING IN THEIR SUPPORT AND DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS HAVE STOOD TOGETHER.

THE UNITED STATES IS WORKING IN LOCKSTEP WITH OUR ALLIES AND PARTNERS AROUND THE WORLD TO MAKE SURE THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE ARE IN THE STRONGEST POSSIBLE POSITION TO DEFEND THEIR NATION, THEIR FAMILIES AND AGAINST THE BRUTAL, TRULY BRUTAL AGGRESSION OF RUSSIA.

I HAVEN'T SEEN THE LIKES OF THIS IN A LONG TIME. THE UNITED STATES AND EUROPE ARE FULLY UNITED. THIS MORNING, I HAD A LONG CONVERSATION WITH OUR NATO ALLIES, GERMAN CHANCELLOR SCHULZE, FRENCH PRESIDENT MACRON, PRIME MINISTER ZANUCK.

AND THE ITALIAN PRIME MINISTER MALONI TO CONTINUE OUR CLOSE COORDINATION AND FULL SUPPORT OF UKRAINE BECAUSE YOU ALL KNOW I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR A LONG TIME. THE EXPECTATION ON THE PART OF RUSSIA IS WE'LL BREAK UP. WE'RE NOT GOING TO STAY UNITED.

BUT WE ARE FULLY, THOROUGHLY TOTALLY UNITED. WITH SPRING APPROACHING UKRAINIAN FORCES ARE WORKING TO DEFEND THE TERRITORY THEY HOLD AND PREPARING FOR ADDITIONAL COUNTEROFFENSIVES TO LIBERATE THEIR LAND. THEY NEED TO COUNTER RUSSIA'S.

EVOLVING TACTICS AND STRATEGY ON THE BATTLEFIELD IN THE VERY NEAR TERM. THEY NEED TO IMPROVE THEIR ABILITY TO MANEUVER ON OPEN TERRAIN AND NEED AN ENDURING CAPABILITY TO DETER AND DEFEND AGAINST RUSSIAN AGGRESSION OVER THE LONG TERM.

SECRETARY OF STATE AND THE SECRETARY OF THE MILITARY BEHIND ME ARE — THEY'VE BEEN DEEPLY, DEEPLY INVOLVED IN THIS THIS WHOLE EFFORT. ARMORED CAPABILITY AS GENERAL AUSTIN WILL TELL YOU HAS BEEN CRITICAL AND THAT'S WHY THE UNITED STATES IS COMMITTED.

HUNDREDS OF ARMORED FIGHTING VEHICLES TO DATE INCLUDING MORE THAN 500 AS PART OF THE ASSISTANCE PACKAGE WE ANNOUNCED LAST FRIDAY AND TODAY, TODAY I'M ANNOUNCING THAT THE UNITED STATES WILL BE SENDING 31 ABRAMS TANKS TO UKRAINE, THE EQUIVALENT OF ONE UKRAINIAN BATTALION.

SECRETARY AUSTIN HAS RECOMMENDED THIS STEP BECAUSE IT WILL ENHANCE UKRAINE'S CAPACITY TO DEFEND ITS TERRITORY AND ACHIEVE ITS STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES. THE ABRAMS TANKS ARE THE MOST CAPABLE IN THE WORLD AND EXTREMELY COMPLEX TO OPERATE AND MAINTAIN SO GIVING THEM THE.

PARTS AND TRAINING TO ASSIST THEM AND BEGIN TO TRAIN THE TROOPS ON THESE ISSUES OF SUSTAINMENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. DELIVERING THESE TANKS TO THE FIELD IS GOING TO TAKE TIME. TIME THAT WE'LL USE TO MAKE SURE THE UKRAINIANS ARE FULLY PREPARED.

WE'RE ALSO CLOSELY COORDINATING THIS ANNOUNCEMENT WITH OUR ALLIES. THE AMERICAN CONTRIBUTION WILL BE JOINED BY AN ADDITIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT INCLUDING THAT WILL BE READILY AVAILABLE IN THE COMING WEEKS AND MONTHS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES.

I'M GRATEFUL TO CHANCELLOR SCHULZE FOR PROVIDING LEOPARD 2 TANKS AND WILL LEAD AN EFFORT TO ORGANIZE THE EUROPEAN CONTRIBUTION OF TWO TANK BATTALIONS FOR UKRAINE. I WANT TO THANK THE CHANCELLOR FOR HIS LEADERSHIP AND HIS STEADFAST COMMITMENT TO OUR.

COLLECTIVE EFFORTS TO SUPPORT UKRAINE. GERMANY HAS REALLY STEPPED UP. THE CHANCELLOR HAS BEEN A STRONG, STRONG VOICE FOR UNITY, A CLOSE FRIEND AND FOR THE LEVEL OF EFFORT WE'LL CONTINUE SUPPORTING UKRAINE'S ABILITY TO FIGHT OFF RUSSIAN AGGRESSION TO.

DEFEND ITS SOVEREIGNTY AND TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY, A WORLDWIDE COMMITMENT. IT'S A WORLDWIDE COMMITMENT. LAST WEEK GERMANY SECRETARY AUSTIN CONVENED THE GROUP FOR THE EIGHTH TIME. THIS GROUP MADE UP OF 50 NATIONS, EACH MAKING SIGNIFICANT.

CONTRIBUTIONS OF THEIR OWN TO UKRAINE'S INTEGRITY. EACH FULLY COMMITTED TO MAKING UKRAINE REMAIN STRONG AND INDEPENDENT AND ABLE TO DEFEND ITSELF AGAINST RUSSIAN THREATS AND VIOLENCE. I WANT TO THANK EVERY MEMBER OF THAT COALITION FOR CONTINUING TO.

STEP UP. THE UK, THE UNITED KINGDOM RECENTLY ANNOUNCED IT'S DONATING CHALLENGER 2 TANKS TO UKRAINE. FRANCE IS CONTRIBUTING AMX-10s, ARMORED FIGHTING VEHICLES, IN ADDITION TO THE LEOPARD TANK, GERMANY LIKE THE UNITED STATES IS ALSO GERMANY IS ALSO SENDING.

A PATRIOT MISSILE BATTERY. THE NETHERLANDSS IS DONATING A PATRIOT MISSILE AND LAUNCHERS. FRANCE, CANADA, THE UK, SLOVAKIA AND NORWAY HAVE ALL CONTRIBUTED TO HELP SECURE UKRAINIAN SKIES AND SAVE THE LIVES OF INNOCENT CIVILIANS WHO ARE LITERALLY THE TARGET, THE TARGET OF RUSSIA'S.

AGGRESSION. POLAND IS SENDING ARMORED VEHICLES. SWEDEN IS DONATING INFANTRY FIGHTING VEHICLES. ITALY IS GIVING ARTILLERY. DENMARK AND ESTONIA SENDING HOWITZERS. LATVIA PROVIDING FOR STINGER.

MISSILES. AND FINLAND RECENTLY ANNOUNCED ITS LARGEST PACKAGE OF SECURITY ASSISTANCE TO DATE. YOU MAY REMEMBER I WAS ASKED A WHILE AGO WHAT I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AND I SAID, LET PUTIN KNOW. HE THOUGHT HE WOULD END UP WITH.

A FINLANDIZATION OF EUROPE. HE HAS THE NATOIZATION OF FINLAND. TOGETHER WITH OUR ALLIES AND PARTNERS WE SENT MORE THAN 3,000 ARMORED VEHICLES, MORE THAN 8,000 ARTILLERY SYSTEMS, MORE THAT 2 MILLION ROUNDS OF ARTILLERY AND MORE THAN 50.

ADVANCED MULTILAUNCH MISSILE SYSTEMS AND DEFENSE SYSTEMS TO COUNTER UKRAINE'S BRUTAL AGGRESSION THAT'S HAPPENING BECAUSE OF RUSSIA. AND, LOOK, TODAY'S ANNOUNCEMENT BUILDS ON THE HARD WORK AND COMMITMENT FROM COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD LED BY THE UNITED.

STATES OF AMERICA TO HELP UKRAINE DEFEND ITS SOVEREIGNTY AND TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. HELPING UKRAINE DEFEND AND PROTECT UKRAINIAN LAND. IT IS NOT AN OFFENSIVE THREAT TO RUSSIA. THERE IS NO OFFENSIVE THREAT TO.

RUSSIA. IF RUSSIAN TROOPS RETURN TO RUSSIAN, THEY'LL BE WHERE THEY BELONG. THIS WAR WOULD BE OVER TODAY. THAT'S WHAT WE ALL WANT, AN END TO THIS WAR AND JUST AND LASTING TERMS. YOU KNOW, OUR TEAMS DO NOT.

PERMIT ONE NATION, WE'RE NOT GOING TO ALLOW ONE NATION TO STEAL A TERRITORY BY FORCE. OUR TERMS, PRESERVE UKRAINE'S SOVEREIGNTY AND TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY AND HONOR THE U.N. CHARTER. THAT'S OUR TERPS WE'RE WORKING ON, AND, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE THE.

TERPS WE ALL SIGNED UP FOR AND 143 NATIONS VOTED FOR AND THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY LAST OCTOBER. SO, THE UNITED STATES STANDING SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH ALLIES AND PARTNERS IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO ALL WE CAN TO SUPPORT UKRAINE.

PUTIN EXPECTED EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES TO WEAKEN OUR RESOLVE. HE EXPECTED OUR SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE TO CRUMBLE WITH TIME. HE WAS WRONG. HE WAS WRONG. AND HE WAS WRONG FROM THE BEGINNING AND HE CONTINUES TO BE.

WRONG. WE ARE UNITED. AMERICA'S UNITED AND SO IS THE WORLD. AND WE APPROACH THE ONE-YEAR MARK AS WE DO OF THE RUSSIAN FULL-SCALE INVASION WE REMAIN UNITED AND DETERMINED AS EVER AND OUR CONVICTION AND OUR.

CAUSE. THESE TANKS ARE FURTHER EVIDENCE OF OUR ENDURING UNFLAGGING COMMITMENT TO UKRAINE AND OUR CONFIDENCE IN THE SKILL OF THE UKRAINIAN FORCES. AS I TOLD PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY WHEN HE WAS HERE AND TODAY IS HIS BIRTHDAY, BY THE WAY, IN.

DECEMBER, WE'RE WITH YOU FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKE, MR. PRESIDENT. UKRAINIANS ARE FIGHTING AN AGE OLD BATTLE AGAINST AGGRESSION AND DOMINATION. IT'S A BATTLE AMERICANS HAVE FOUGHT PROUDLY TIME AND AGAIN AND IT'S A BATTLE WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THE UKRAINIANS ARE.

WELL EQUIPPED TO FIGHT AS WELL. THIS IS ABOUT FREEDOM. FREEDOM FOR UKRAINE. FREEDOM EVERYWHERE. IT'S ABOUT THE KIND OF WORLD WE WANT TO LIVE IN, THE WORLD WE WANT TO LEAVE TO OUR CHILDREN. SO MAY GOD PROTECT THE BRAVE UKRAINIAN DEFENDERS OF THEIR.

COUNTRY AND KEEP THE FLAME OF LIBERTY BURNING BRIGHTLY AS WE CAN. THANK YOU. >> MR. PRESIDENT, WHY ARE YOU TAKING THIS DECISION NOW? DID GERMANY FORCE YOU TO CHANGE YOUR MIND ON SENDING TANK? >> GERMANY DIDN'T FORCE ME TO.

CHANGE MY MIND. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE
