U.S. President Joe Biden after his White House Statement on UkraineMOSCOW, May 3. US President Joe Biden confused Russia and Ukraine in an official speech during a trip to a plant in Alabama that produces Javelin anti-tank missile systems for Ukraine. «Before Russia attacked, we made sure that Russia had Javelin systems and other weapons to strengthen their defenses so that Ukraine is ready,» the American leader said. During his speech, Biden called the crisis in Ukraine a turning point in history, which happens every six to eight generations, and also called on Congress to approve additional assistance to Kiev as soon as possible. Last week, the head of the White House announced that he had submitted a request to Congress for an additional $33 billion in funding to support Ukraine in the areas of defense, security, and humanitarian support. Since February 24, Russia has been conducting a special operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine. As Vladimir Putin stressed, its goal is «to protect people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years.» According to the Ministry of Defense, the Russian military strikes only on military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops, nothing threatens the civilian population. The agency called the liberation of Donbass the main goal of the operation.
