France’s Macron welcomes Biden at D-Day celebrations | VOA News

Описание: U.S. President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, were welcomed by French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday, at an international commemoration ceremony for the D-Day landings on Omaha Beach.

U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday marked the solemnity of the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landing of Allied troops on the shores of Normandy by vowing that the United States and NATO would not abandon support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s two-year invasion.

Speaking in Colleville-sur-Mer, France, Biden said “we will not walk away” from Ukraine's defense and “surrender to bullies.”

The U.S. leader said Ukraine was invaded by Russian President Vladimir Putin, a "tyrant intent on domination," and that democracy is now more at risk than at any point since World War II.
