US President Briefed on Humanitarian Efforts to aid Ukraine in Poland
ISTANBUL (AA) – US President Joe Biden on Friday received a briefing on humanitarian response amid Russia’s war on Ukraine during a visit to Poland.
“The single most important thing that we can do on the outset is keeping the democracies united in our opposition, and our effort to curtail devastation that is occurring at the hands of a man who, quite frankly, I think, is a war criminal,” Biden told reporters during a briefing along with Polish President Andrzej Duda.
Biden is accompanied by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Samantha Power, head of the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
Earlier on Friday, Biden visited US troops in Poland. On Saturday, Biden is expected to deliver a speech in the courtyard of the Royal Castle in Poland.
Russia began its war on Feb. 24. It has been met with international outrage, with the EU, US, and UK, among others, implementing tough financial sanctions on Moscow.
At least 1,081 civilians have been killed in Ukraine and 1,707 injured, according to UN estimates, while cautioning that the true figure is likely far higher.
More than 3.7 million Ukrainians have also fled to neighboring countries, with over 6.5 million more displaced inside the country, according to the UN refugee agency.
