US President Joe Biden notes that US support for Ukraine keeps the US military from participating in the war if Russian aggression spreads further.

Literally: “From the experience of two world wars of the last century, we know that when aggression in Europe goes unanswered, the crisis does not go away on its own. It directly involves America. That is why our support for Ukraine today is an investment in our own security. It prevents wider conflict tomorrow.
We keep American troops out of this war by supporting the brave Ukrainians who defend their freedom and homeland. We are providing them with weapons and economic assistance to stop Putin’s quest for conquest before the conflict spreads further.”
Details: Biden stressed that the world is looking to the United States to solve the problems of our time.
“It is the responsibility of a leader, and America will lead. Because if we step away from the challenges of the present, the risk of conflict will spread and the costs of solving it will only grow. We will not allow that to happen. This belief is at the core of my approach to supporting the people Ukraine, which continues to defend its freedom from the brutal war unleashed by Putin,” he emphasized.
The US President also pointed out the similarities between Russian terrorists and Hamas terrorists.
“Both Putin and Hamas are fighting to wipe out a neighboring democracy. Both Putin and Hamas hope to destroy broader regional stability and integration and take advantage of the ensuing disorder. America cannot and will not allow this to happen. For our own national interests security – and for the good of the whole world,” the text says.
Background:
US President Joe Biden is trying to convince the US Congress to support aid to both Ukraine and Israel and approve a new $106 billion aid package, including more than $61 billion in funding to help Ukraine. New Speaker of the US House of Representatives Mike Johnson insists that aid packages for Ukraine and Israel be considered by Congress separately, and that the “Ukrainian” package be considered together with appropriations for border security with Mexico. On Thursday Biden signed a bill on short-term government funding to avoid a government shutdown, which does not contain funding to support either Ukraine or Israel. EU chief diplomat Josep Borrell suggested that US aid to Ukraine would likely be reduced in the future, so EU countries must be politically ready Against this background, continue to support Ukraine.
