WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden galvanized NATO allies and reaffirmed U.S. commitment to Ukraine Wednesday as Russia's devastating war on its neighbor marches past its 500th day.
The U.S. stepped up, NATO stepped up and our partners in the Indo-Pacific stepped up," Biden said in an address from Vilnius, Lithuania.
"We will not waver," he said, promising that the U.S. will continue to support Ukraine "for as long as it takes."
The allies welcomed the arrival of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who reiterated calls to join NATO and vowed its membership would make the world's most powerful military alliance stronger.
