Putin Will Not Stop At Ukraine: Joe Biden In State Of Union Address

United States President Joe Biden warned that Vladimir Putin will not stop at Ukraine and that Ukraine can stop Putin if Washington stands with Kyiv and provide weapons.  

Speaking during the State of Union Address ahead of the US Presidential elections on Thursday (local time), Biden said, “Overseas, Putin and Russia are on the march, invading ukraine, and sowing chaos throughout europe and beyond. If anyone in this room think that Putin will stop at Ukraine. .” 

“But Ukraine can stop Putin, if we stand with them and provide them weapons and make it defend itself. That is what Ukraine has been asking. They are not asking for American soldiers,” he added. 

During his address, Biden also announced that the Sweden has officially joined the NATO after Finland. 

Drawing a sharp attack on his predecessor Donald Trump over the January 6 US Capitol Hill attack, Biden branded it as “gravest threat to democracy since civil war.” “My predecessor and some of you here seek to bury the truth about January,” he added. 

“You can’t love your country only when you win.” 

Speaking on the Roe Vs Wade, which effectively rescinded a nationwide guarantee to abortion, Biden said, “Women are not without electoral.. power.”

Making a pitch on his track record ahead of the polls, Biden made the case that the economy is stronger now than when he took office in 2021.

“It doesn’t make the news, but in thousands of cities and towns the American people are writing the greatest comeback story never told,” he said. 

“America’s comeback is building a future of American possibilities, building an economy from the middle out and the bottom up.”

Backing the IVF treatment amid the controversy in Alabama, Biden laid the example of Latorya Beasly, a social worker from the state who had a child thanks to IVF 14 months ago.

“Let’s stand up for families like hers,” he said. “Guarantee the right to IVF nationwide.”
