Russia-Ukraine war: Biden to travel to Europe to discuss Putin's aggression with other NATO leaders

Biden will travel to Brussels, Belgium and will join an 'extraordinary NATO summit' on March 24 to discuss Russia's 'unprovoked and unjustified' attack on Ukraine.

New Delhi: US President Joe Biden will make his first visit to Europe since the Russian invasion of Ukraine to discuss the crisis with other NATO leaders next week, the White House said on Tuesday (March 15, 2022).

Biden will travel to Brussels, Belgium and will join an 'extraordinary NATO summit' on March 24 to discuss ongoing deterrence and defense efforts in response to Russia's 'unprovoked and unjustified' attack on Ukraine, the White House said in a statement.

He will also join a scheduled European Council Summit to discuss US' shared concerns about Ukraine, including transatlantic efforts to impose economic costs on Russia, provide humanitarian support to those affected by the violence, and address other challenges related to the conflict.

Putin’s aggression against Ukraine has united people across America and the world to act with urgency and resolve.

I want to thank Congressional leadership for working so quickly to make sure we have the resources we need to continue our forceful response to this crisis.
