The US will continue to supply Ukraine to return annexed territories - Biden

"The United States condemns Russia's today's fraudulent attempt to annex the sovereign Ukrainian territory. Russia violates international law, despises the charter of the United Nations and demonstrates its disregard for peaceful nations everywhere," Biden said. According to the White House Chairman, the Kremlin's actions do not have any legitimacy, and Washington will always respect the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine.

In this regard, the US side will continue to provide comprehensive assistance to Ukraine to liberate its territories. "We will continue to supply Ukraine with the equipment that it needs for self -defense, despite Russia's cheeky attempts to shift my neighbor's borders. And I look forward to signing a law, which will provide an additional $ 12 billion to support Ukraine," Biden emphasized.

The US president also announced the introduction of new anti -Russian sanctions and added that the United States would unite the international community to condemn these steps and hold Russia accountable. "I urge all members of the international community to reject Russia's illegal annexation attempts and support the people of Ukraine as much as they need," the US president summed up.

Recall that today, September 30, US Presidential Administration Joe Baiden has imposed sanctions on Russia in response to annexation of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions. The list of sanctions included deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, senators of the Federation Council, the leadership of the Central Bank and others. The United States has transferred to the needs of the Armed Forces new precision M30A1 missiles used by HIMARS.
