Biden visits Zelensky in Kyiv and says the US will back Ukraine "for as long as it takes" in its war against Russia
President Joe Biden on a visit to Kyiv has said the US will back Ukraine "for as long as it takes" in its war against Russia.
President Joe Biden has sought to show his determination to support Kyiv by visiting the Ukrainian capital in a morale boost for President Volodomyr Zelensky. The US announced a new package of yet more weapon deliveries and Mr Biden said the US will back Ukraine "for as long as it takes" in its war against Russia.
We can expect a different narrative later today when President Vladimir Putin delivers a state of the nation speech in Moscow. The Russian leader will be keen to portray the past year's war as a victory, though many critics both at home and abroad suggest that the invasion of Ukraine has definitely not gone to plan.
And many of the people of southern Turkey and northern Syria have had to endure another tense night as another earthquake on Monday evening forced them from their homes.
