Biden Calls Russian Attack ‘Outrageous’, Stresses US Must Stand With Ukraine

US President Joe Biden called out Russia’s devastating assault on Ukraine on Thursday, pushing for the necessity of ongoing support for Kyiv. The attack, launched by almost 200 missiles and drones, targeted the Ukrainian energy grid, plunging over a million people into darkness. Biden said it was “outrageous” and again confirmed the United Statesstance on standing by the people of Ukraine in their resistance toRussian aggression.

Final Push for US Support Under Biden’s Leadership

Biden’s statement comes as his term nears its end, with former President Donald Trump set to assume office in January. Biden has been a staunch advocate for Ukraine, overseeing almost $60 billion in US military aid since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022. “This attack underscores the critical importance of supporting Ukraine in its defense,” Biden said, urging Americans to remain steadfast in their backing for Kyiv.

Trump’s Expected Shift in Ukraine Policy

Trump’s return to the White House is expected to bring significant changes to US policy toward Ukraine. While he has pledged to mediate peace talks between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin, critics fear Trump may use US military aid as leverage to push Kyiv into concessions.

On Wednesday, Trump announced retired General Keith Kellogg as his Ukraine envoy. Kellogg co-authored a paper earlier this year suggesting that the US could leverage military assistance to encourage peace negotiations, potentially requiring Ukraine to cede occupied territories or agree not to join NATO.

Uncertain Path Ahead for Ukraine

As the Biden administration doubles down on its support for Ukraine in its final weeks, the future of US involvement remains uncertain under Trump. While Trump’s critics warn of potential compromises that may favor Russia, his supporters argue that a swift resolution to the conflict is essential for global stability.
