Details: Biden noted that when Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, the US decided not to stand aside and united with its allies and partners to support Kyiv.

"The good news is, Putin’s war has failed in its core aim. He set out to destroy Ukraine, but Ukraine is still free. He set out to weaken NATO, but NATO is bigger, stronger and more united than ever before," Biden said.

He then warned that the world cannot let up on its efforts to support Ukraine.

"The world now has another choice to make. Will we sustain our support to help Ukraine win this war and preserve its freedom? Or walk away and let aggression be renewed and the nation be destroyed?

I know my answer. We cannot grow weary. We cannot look away. And we will not let up on our support for Ukraine – not until Ukraine wins a just and durable peace under the UN Charter," Biden concluded.

Biden made his speech during a visit to the US by Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to present his Victory Plan.

Bloomberg has reported that some Western officials have tried to lower expectations of the Victory Plan, saying that they do not see it as a breakthrough.

While in the US, Zelenskyy stated that he considered the war to be "closer to the end" than many think and urged the allies to strengthen the Ukrainian army.
