Biden meets with Poland leader, set to speak on Ukraine war

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — President Joe Biden reaffirmed the United States’ dedication to European security as he met with Polish President Andrzej Duda on Tuesday, part of a series of consultations with allies to prepare for an even more complicated stage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

“We have to have security in Europe,” he said at the presidential palace in Warsaw. “It’s that basic, that simple, that consequential.”

Biden described NATO as “maybe the most consequential alliance in history,” and he said it’s “stronger than its ever been” despite Russian President Vladimir Putin’s hopes that it would fracture over the war in Ukraine.

Biden arrived in Warsaw on Monday after paying an unannounced visit to Kyiv. Duda praised Biden’s trip as “spectacular,” saying it “boosted morale of Ukraine’s defenders.”

2. 'No sweeter word than freedom': Biden assails Putin, vows to continue help for Ukraine

WARSAW, Poland — More than anything he might say in his speech Tuesday, President Joe Biden demonstrated a personal commitment to Ukraine’s survival when he slipped into the war zone unannounced Monday and put his own safety at risk.

He sought to highlight that commitment — and invoke the importance of that trip — in a speech in Poland on Tuesday.

"There is no sweeter word than freedom, no higher goal than freedom, no higher aspiration than freedom. America knows it, you know it," Biden said. "Stand with us, we will stand with you. Let us move forward with faith and conviction, commitment to be allies."

Biden, who is speaking in the gardens of the Royal Castle in Warsaw as the war enters its second year, proclaimed that the United States and its allies remain united in their support for Ukraine’s effort to beat back the Russian invasion.
