Biden Acknowledges in Final Foreign Policy Speech U.S. Support for Ukraine Increased Risk of Nuclear Conflict with Russia
Jan 13, 2025, 08:43 PM
In his final foreign policy speech, President Joe Biden acknowledged that U.S. support for Ukraine increased the risk of nuclear confrontation with Russia. He stated that his two main objectives were to rally global support for Ukraine and to prevent a war between nuclear powers, asserting that both goals were achieved. Biden's remarks have drawn criticism from Russian officials, including Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, who claimed that Biden's actions knowingly pushed the world towards a dangerous brink. Zakharova emphasized that anyone in the West who accused Russia of nuclear destabilization is misleading the public, suggesting that Biden's acknowledgment confirms the perilous nature of U.S. involvement in the conflict.
