Biden: Next few days, weeks and months will be hard on people of Ukraine

U.S. President Joe Biden believes that the near future will be difficult for Ukraine, but its people will defend their independence.

"The next few days, weeks, and months will be hard on the people of Ukraine. Putin has unleashed a great pain on them. But the Ukrainian people have known 30 years of independence — and they have shown that they will not tolerate anyone who tries to take their country backwards," Biden wrote on Twitter.
