Eko Hot Blog reports Biden said at a joint news conference following his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday, “Today we affirm that France and the United States together with all our allies … stand as strong as ever against Russia’s brutal war against Ukraine. We talked a lot about that in our bilateral meeting.”
“We’ll continue the strong support for the people of Ukraine as they defend their home and their families and their sovereignty and territorial integrity against Russian aggression which has been incredibly brutal,” Biden said.
“I knew Russia was, but didn’t anticipate it to be as brutal as it.”
Biden also thanked Macron for taking in Ukrainian refugees during the war so far.
Macron reiterated the US president’s pledges of support, saying in translated remarks that “we support both the Ukrainian army that is resisting” as well as Ukrainian civilians who are facing the attacks as well.
He thanked the US for its investments aimed at trying to mitigate the effects of the war on Europe, adding during their bilateral meeting, the two leaders also agreed to continue to invest in helping Ukraine.
“We also agreed to continue to work together to support the Ukrainian people to help them resist because we can very well see today that the Russian war effort is very much targeting the civilian infrastructure,” Macron said via a translator, adding that “more violence” is making it harder for Ukrainians to survive winter with damaged energy systems.
