Powerful speech by President Joe Biden before the United Nations, with President Zelenskyy also in attendance.
Screenshot from CNN Live Feed of President Biden’s Remarks
“Russia alone bears responsibility for this war. Russia alone has the power to end this war immediately. And it’s Russia alone that stands in the way of peace.
Russia’s price for peace is Ukraine’s capitulation, Ukraine’s territory, and Ukraine’s children. Russia believes that the world will grow weary and allow it to brutalize Ukraine without consequence."
"But I ask you this: If we abandon the core principles of the United States to appease an aggressor, can any state in this body feel that they are protected? If we allow Ukraine to be carved up, is the independence of any nation secure?
I respectfully suggest the answer is ‘no.’ We have to stand up to this naked aggression today, and deter other would-be aggressors tomorrow.
That’s why the U.S. together with our allies and partners around the world will continue to stand with the brave people of Ukraine as they defend their sovereignty and territorial integrity and their freedom.”

@georgetakei I rarely support wars, least of all the kind the USA gets in. But ukraine I'd support as there is a very clear right and wrong, and it involves the unilateral and unprovoked invasion of another nation.
@freemo @georgetakei Ukraine is fighting for all democracies.
