Live: US President Biden delivers speech following pivotal NATO summit | DW News

US President Joe Biden is expected to deliver a public speech at Vilnius University following the annual NATO summit in Lithuania. During the summit, there was a significant emphasis on Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine. President Biden and other NATO leaders met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the newly established NATO-Ukraine Council. This permanent body serves as a platform for the 31 NATO allies and Ukraine to engage in consultations and request emergency meetings. This comes after Ukraine was neither granted immediate membership in NATO, nor a clear timeline for accession.

I walked the streets of Vilnius old town, where all the leaders were staying these last few days, and the energy was very positive! Lithuanians are absolutely proud of their freedom and Nato alliance. And we certainly understand how important is to maintain a strong unity and vigilance against those who don't have freedom planted in their hearts ;)

I wasn't a fan of Biden. In fact I said I would never vote for him. But after his unwavering and ongoing support to Ukraine all that has changed. The way Joe Biden is handling Russia has earned him a top spot in my mind and a guaranteed re-election vote. Biden can count on my vote next time.

I was proud of my president Biden when he walked in Kyiv. I'm so proud now he's in Vilnius. Free Baltics must always be free.

Ukraine is fighting a superior military for freedom. America fought a superior military for our freedom.
America had help from allies to win our freedom. Thank you France, Spain and Netherlands.
America knows the importance of having allies.

Thank you, Mr. Biden, you are a great president to lead/help Ukraine defend its right to choose democracy against terror and oppression. Over 90 years ago, the Western world turned a blind eye to Ukraine's struggle for freedom during the early 1930's as a result Stalin's systematic starvation plan killed millions during Holodomor. I often think if you had been president during those times, Ukraine could have been freed from the grasp of Stalin and his cronies and there would not have been any further soviet expansion into other European nations from the 1930's onward. The right to choose democracy needs to be defended. Glory to Ukraine! And thanks all to who help them defend the ideals of western democracy.
