US President Joe Biden concluded the NATO summit by condemning Russian President
Vladimir Putin as "craven" and pledging full
support to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, even without Ukraine's
membership in the military alliance.
Biden praised the resolve and unity of NATO, highlighting Finland's recent
addition to the alliance and Sweden's prospective admission. Biden's speech
aimed to rally allies, solidify his role on the world stage, and emphasize his
commitment to healing divisions both at home and abroad.
While Zelenskyy criticized NATO for not providing a clear pathway to
membership for Ukraine, Biden assured him that the new security pledges made by
G7 leaders would address his concerns. The summit highlighted the ongoing
tensions surrounding Ukraine's desire for NATO membership and Russia's
aggressive actions. |
