US President Joe Biden on Sunday tweeted from his personal Twitter handle that Russian President Vladimir Putin could make the choice to end the war just as he chose to launch this brutal invasion. “Russia is the aggressor, and the world must and will hold Russia accountable,” Biden tweeted.
The message of strengthening the fight against Putin and Russia comes as US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi met Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv and urged him to not back down in the face of Russia’s aggression. “We are here for the fight and you cannot fold to a bully,” Pelosi told Zelensky.
Apart from isolating Putin and Russia by imposing sanctions, the United States has been sending aid to Ukraine and the latest proposed aid will also include $20 billion in the military and other security assistance. A further $8.5 billion in economic aid will “help the government of Ukraine respond to the immediate crisis,” while some $3 billion is proposed to fund humanitarian assistance and address the global food supply price shock resulting from Russia’s onslaught against Ukraine, a major wheat exporter, an official said.
