WARSAW (Reuters), – U.S. Vice President Joe Biden will speak in Poland this Saturday against Russia’s invading of Ukraine. The White House stated that all major economies are in agreement about the necessity to end Vladimir Putin.

Biden will be meeting with Andrzej Duba, the Polish president, after three days of emergency meetings in which allies from NATO, European Council, and G7 met.

Biden was elected to office in the last year following a fiercely contested election. He promised to rebuild democracy and unify democracies around the world to face autocrats like the Russian president Vladimir Putin and China’s leader Xi Jinping.

Putin’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, which Russia called a “special operation”, has proven that Russia is serious about keeping its promises and could lead to a new Cold War, three decades after the fall of the Soviet Union.

The White House released a statement saying that Biden would give remarks about the United States’ efforts to help Ukraine and hold Russia responsible for the brutal war in which it is engaged.

Warsaw is the setting for these remarks. This city was under Soviet control for over 40 years and was part of the Moscow-led Warsaw Pact Security Alliance.

Poland now holds the position of being the most important formerly communist state member in the European Union. The recent rise in right-wing populism has placed Poland at war with Washington and NATO. But the threat from Russia pushing beyond their borders has brought Poland closer to its Western neighbor.

Biden’s election put Warsaw’s nationalist Law and Justice government in an awkward position after it had set great store in its relationship with his predecessor Donald Trump.

Duda seemed to be trying to improve relations with Washington, despite tensions building with Russia ahead of the February 24th invasion of Ukraine. He vetoed legislation in December that was criticised for its intent to suppress a 24-hour U.S. news station.

Biden will be meeting privately with Duda to discuss the dispute about how to arm Ukraine by warplanes as well as other security assurances.

Washington rejected an offer from Poland to send Russian-made MiG29 fighter jets to the United States to help replenish Ukraine’s airforce.

Poland now wants to purchase U.S.-made Patriot missiles as well as F35 fighter jets from the United States and tanks to increase its security and give assurances on NATO’s promises to its members.

Pawel Soloch (head of the National Security Bureau), stated that “Above All, we want an unshakeable guarantee from the United States within the framework for the alliance.” “Especially here, to Poland as well as the other countries within the region. The USA would protect Poland in the event of an attack against Poland.
