US President Joe Biden reaffirmed his intention to continue the US policy of global leadership in supporting Ukraine and strengthening NATO, emphasizing that this is a matter of US national security.

Direct speech: "I will not leave Ukraine. I will keep NATO strong. This is exactly what we have done, and this is exactly what we will continue to do."
He emphasized that the future of U.S. policy depends on the American people, who will make their choice in November.
However, Biden warned that this is much more than a political issue: "This is a national security issue."
He added that this is not about his political campaign, but about the decades to come.
In this context, he recalled how his predecessor, Donald Trump, had renounced his obligations under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which is considered the basis of collective security. In addition, Trump called Russian dictator Putin a "genius," Biden recalled.
