'Ukraine can and will stop Vladimir Putin': Biden tells NATO as he announces 'historic' aid for Kyiv
India TV NewsWashington: US President Joe Biden affirmed "full support" for Ukraine and exuded confidence that the country "can and will" stop Russian President Vladimir Putin's aggression as he welcomed NATO member-states to a Washington summit on Tuesday. Zelenskyy hoped Trump would not quit the 75-year-old NATO alliance and that America would keep supporting Ukraine in its defense against Russia's more than two-year-old invasion. Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for the US presidential election in November, has frequently criticised the size of US military support for Ukraine - some $60 billion since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022 - and called Zelenskyy "the greatest salesman ever" during the presidential debate on June 27. Meanwhile, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said NATO will announce in the coming days a new military command in Germany led by a three-star general for training and equipping Ukrainian troops, and appoint a senior representative in Kyiv to deepen Ukraine's relationship with the alliance.
