US President Joe Biden gave an assurance of Washington’s continued support for Kyiv in its fight against the Russian invasion on Saturday, warning that Vladimir Putin would “not stop” at Ukraine. “Putin is not going to stop at Ukraine,” Biden highlighted alongside French President Emmanuel Macron after their meeting in Paris. “All of Europe will be threatened, we are not going to let that happen,” news agency AFP quoted Biden as saying.
“All of Europe will be threatened, we are not going to let that happen,” Biden said. “The United States is standing strong with Ukraine. We will not, I say it again, walk away,” the US President also said.
Emmanuel Macron emphasised the unity with the US under Biden’s leadership and expressed gratitude saying, “I thank you, Mr President, for being the president of the world’s number one power but doing it with the loyalty of a partner who likes and respects the Europeans.”
Macron stated that Paris and Washington also shared the same vision of Iran, blaming Tehran for pursuing a “strategy of escalation at all levels”. “Our two countries are determined to exert the necessary pressure to stop this trend,” he said.

France And US Pledge To Support Ukraine
On Friday, both Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Paris, pledging their support for Ukraine. During the meet Zelensky also expected “shoulder-to-shoulder” support from them.
The US president, 81, has been in France since Wednesday and took part in this week’s commemorations marking the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings that changed the course of World War II.
On Friday, Biden warned of the need to preserve American democracy and drew parallels between World War II and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Later this year, Biden is set to face his Republican rival and predecessor Donald Trump in the presidential elections, which commentators predict will test US democracy significantly.
“We have shown the world again the power of allies and what we can achieve when we stand together,” said Biden, as per AFP.
Trump has also expressed his lack of interest in international organisations including NATO.
