(ANSA-AFP) - MADRID, JUN 30 - A bullish President Joe Biden
on Thursday announced $800 million in new weapons for Ukraine
and said the United States will support Kyiv "as long as it
takes" in its war against Russia. As Western-armed Ukrainian
forces notched up a victory by recapturing strategic Snake
Island in the Black Sea, and NATO leaders expressed strong unity
during their Madrid summit, Biden made clear he intends to keep
the pressure on President Vladimir Putin. "Before the war
started, I told Putin that if he invaded Ukraine, NATO would not
only get stronger but would get more united," an energised
looking Biden told a press conference. He spoke before returning
to Washington after the NATO summit and a meeting of G7 leaders
earlier in Germany, where he did not hold a press conference and
kept a relatively low profile. (ANSA-AFP).
