“I reaffirmed my commitment that the United States will support Ukraine in defending its democracy and its sovereignty and territorial integrity against unprovoked Russian aggression,” he said, according to a statement.
The president also announced $225 million in humanitarian assistance for Ukraine.
The money will go towards food, clean water, medical supplies and other essential goods.
“The courage, resilience and determination of the Ukrainian people continue to inspire the world,” Biden said.
Shortly before, from Brussels, the Secretary of Defense of the United States, Lloyd Austinurged the Contact Group on Ukraine to urgently “intensify” the commitment to hand over the weapons that Ukraine vehemently demands.
Almost fifty defense ministers, including the Ukrainian Oleksiy Reznikov, participated in that meeting, on the sidelines of a ministerial meeting of the NATO.
“We cannot afford to give up and we cannot lose strength. The stakes are too great. Ukraine is facing a crucial moment on the battlefield,” Austin added.
The main topic of discussion of the conclave is to meet the demand for heavy weapons and in larger quantities to repel the Russian advance in Donbas.
The Ukrainian authorities admitted to having lost control of the center of Severodonetskin Donbas, a region already largely controlled by pro-Russian separatists since 2014.
