Biden: G7 support for Ukraine ‘will continue far into the future’

President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that the joint declaration of support for Ukraine from the G7 nations “will make clear” that support for Kiev from one of the world’s largest democracies “will continue long into the future.”

Speaking at the NATO summit in Vilnius following the inaugural meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council, Biden said Western nations are making long-term commitments to Ukraine’s security assistance as Ukraine pursues a process leading to full membership in the then-31-member bloc.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said the outcome of the NATO summit is a “meaningful success for Ukraine,” adding that it brings new security opportunities to the homeland.

After the summit, Biden delivered a fiery historic speech at Vilnius University, telling the crowd of 10,000 that the United States and its allies would not hesitate to support Ukraine while praising Lithuania and other Baltic states for their historic struggles for freedom.

“The defense of liberty is not the work of a day or a year. It is the calling of our lives. For all times. We are hardened in the struggle ahead. Our unity will not falter, I promise you.”

Biden wants voters to notice lower inflation

Republicans have bashed Biden over the cost of groceries, gasoline, utilities and more, saying the $1.9 trillion pandemic relief package and push for electric cars were responsible for driving inflation to its highest levels in four decades. The GOP’s argument resonated with voters, but the June consumer price report suggested that inflation has eased significantly without any of the job losses some economists and Republican leaders said would happen.

One of Washington’s worst secrets is that Joe Biden has a short fuse. According to Alex Thompson, who is writing a book about the president, “Behind closed doors, Biden has a kind of irascibility that some of his aides try to avoid meeting with him alone.”

Thompson said the boss has a tendency to yell and insults at employees, and “there is sometimes a threatening and insulting tone in his diatribes.”
