Biden: “Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine”

U.S. President Joe Biden has reiterated that the United States will continue to support Ukraine and there could be no negotiations towards a ceasefire without Ukraine having a seat at the table, CNN reported.

“I’ve been very clear that we’re going to continue to provide the capability for the Ukrainian people to defend themselves – and we are not going to engage in any negotiation. There’s nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine, this is a decision Ukraine has to make,” POTUS told reporters traveling with him to the G20 summit in Bali Monday.

He also commented on the recent Kherson liberation by Ukrainian forces. “First of all, it was a significant, significant victory for Ukraine – a significant victory – and I can do nothing but applaud the courage, determination and capacity of Ukrainian people and Ukrainian military. I mean, they’ve really been amazing.”
