The protection of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine is vital for Europe and the United States.

This was stated by US President Joe Biden during the Munich Security Conference.

According to Biden, Russia poses not only a threat to the United States and Europe, but also to its own people.

“Putin (President of the Russian Federation – ed.) He is trying to weaken the European project and NATO, undermine the transatlantic unity. Because it is much easier for the Kremlin to threaten individual countries than it is to negotiate with a strong and united transatlantic community. Therefore, defending the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine remains vital for Europe and the United States, ”he said.

The Kremlin is also trying to weaponize corruption by convincing everyone that the Western system is as corrupt as the Russian.

On February 19, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that Ukrainian diplomats are continuing to work on preparing a telephone conversation between US President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

In January, Ukraine’s ambassador to the United States, Volodymyr Yelchenko, said the Ukrainian side is working on an invitation for Biden to visit Kiev, as well as a possible visit by Zelensky to the United States.

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said Zelensky and Biden would easily find a common language.

On January 20, Joe Biden was sworn in and officially assumed the office of President of the United States. On the same day, Zelensky invited him to Kiev.
