US President Joe Biden has pointed out that the United States' support for Ukraine is keeping the US military from participating in the war should Russian aggression spread further.

Quote: "We know from two world wars in the past century that when aggression in Europe goes unanswered, the crisis does not burn itself out.

That’s why our commitment to Ukraine today is an investment in our security.

We are keeping American troops out of this war by supporting the brave Ukrainians defending their freedom and homeland.

We are providing them with weapons and economic assistance to stop Putin’s drive for conquest, before the conflict spreads farther.".

That conviction is at the root of my approach to supporting the people of Ukraine as they continue to defend their freedom against Putin’s brutal war," Biden stressed.

On Thursday, US President Joe Biden signed a short-term government funding bill to avoid a government shutdown. »
