Biden got it right on Ukraine: The West can’t allow Russia to win

Kudos to President Joe Biden for his surprise visit to Kyiv and more so for his vow to back Ukraine against Vladimir Putin’s lust to conquer. The Moscow menace’s own ravings Tuesday show that his only hope to win is for America and the West to wimp out.

Democracies “will stand guard over freedom today, tomorrow and forever,” Biden promised. “Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia.”

That’s precisely what Putin needed to hear. Hours earlier, the Russian strongman unleashed a deranged spate of bald-faced lies in defense of the war he launched a year ago.

“It was they who unleashed this war,” Putin puffed. Then why, exactly, has all the fighting been inside Ukraine? That alone tells you who shot first.

He even doubled down on his absurd claim that Kyiv is ruled by a “neo-Nazi regime.” President Volodomyr Zelensky, for the record, is still Jewish.
