Zelenskyy thanks Biden for speech: Bipartisan support for Ukraine in USA inspires Ukrainian soldiers, nation

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked U.S. President Joseph Biden for his speech in support of Ukraine and noted the importance of bipartisan support for Ukraine in the United States.

"I thank Joe Biden for his powerful address. Together, we will not allow hatred destroy freedom, and we will not let terrorists destroy democracy. Ukraine is grateful for all the U.S. support and its unfaltering belief that humanism, freedom, independence, and rules-based international order must always triumph. Our common goal is to protect the free way of life for all of our nations," Zelenskyy said on the X social network on Friday morning.

He also noted that "the unwavering bipartisan support for Ukraine in the United States is incredibly encouraging for all of our warriors and for our entire nation." "America's investment in Ukraine's defense will ensure long-term security for all of Europe and the world," the head of the Ukrainian state said.

"The world, particularly nations confronting aggression and terrorism, looks to America to lead in preserving our common freedom," Zelenskyy said.

As reported, Biden, in an address to the nation, said the U.S. Congress must do everything possible to continue arms supplies to Ukraine without pause. He said the United States is sending weapons to Ukraine from stockpiles, and the money that Congress allocates is needed to repurchase weapons for warehouses, and this provides work for U.S. weapons-producing companies throughout the country.

"Just as in World War Two, today, patriotic American workers are building the arsenal of democracy and serving the cause of freedom," the U.S. President said.

He said he plans to ask Congress for financial assistance to Ukraine and Israel and noted that this is necessary to support "our critical partners, including Israel and Ukraine." "It's a smart investment that's going to pay dividends… for generations," the U.S. President said.

In a phone conversation with Zelenskyy on the eve of his speech, Biden assured that both Democrats and Republicans are ready to continue transferring military aid to Kyiv.
