Ukraine was the focus of the President Joe Biden’s annual speech to Congress. “Russia’s Vladimir Putin sought to shake the foundations of the free world thinking he could make it bend to his menacing ways. But he badly miscalculated. He thought he could roll into Ukraine and the world would roll over. Instead he met a wall of strength he never imagined. He met the Ukrainian people. From President Zelenskyy to every Ukrainian, their fearlessness, their courage, their determinations inspires the world. Putin has unleased violence and chaos. But while he may make gains on the battlefield- he will pay a continuing high price over the long run”, President Biden said.
