Biden makes surprise Kyiv visit in solidarity gesture

Tuesday, 21 February 2023 06:38 Taipei Times

US President Joe Biden yesterday made an unannounced visit to Kyiv to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, a gesture of solidarity that comes days before the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of the country.

Speaking alongside Zelenskiy at Mariinsky Palace, Biden recalled the fears nearly a year ago that Russia’s forces might quickly take the Ukrainian capital.

“One year later, Kyiv stands,” Biden said, jamming his finger for emphasis on a podium decorated with US and Ukrainian flags. “Ukraine stands. Democracy stands. The Americans stand with you, and the world stands with you.”

A new resolution calling for continued operations by the US military to support freedom of navigation in the Taiwan Strait has been introduced in the US House of Representatives. It also supports freedom of navigation rights in the South China Sea, the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea.

Sponsored by US Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and supported by 18 Republicans and nine Democrats, it calls for a “peaceful and collaborative resolution of maritime territorial disputes in the South China Sea and its environs and other maritime areas adjacent to the East Asian mainland.”
