Quote from Biden: "Hamas and Putin represent different threats, but they share this in common: they both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy, completely annihilate it."
Details: Biden said that when terrorists do not pay for terror and when dictators do not pay for aggression, they bring even more chaos, death and aggression: "They keep going. And the cost and the threats to America and the world keep rising. So if we don’t stop Putin’s appetite for power and control in Ukraine, he won’t limit himself to just Ukraine."
In his address, Biden also said he would send an urgent budget request to the Congress to help support Israel and Ukraine.
