President Joe Biden vowed to stand by Ukraine 'as long as it takes' as he and fellow G7 leaders announced a new security deal for Kyiv.
It came just one day after Volodymyr Zelensky launched a social media tirade against his Western allies over what he called an 'absurd' delay to setting out a pathway to his country's full membership of the NATO military alliance.
'We are going to be there as long as it takes,' Biden said in a speech flanked by fellow leaders from the G7, a club of the world's richest economies that includes Britain and France.
'We are going to help Ukraine build a strong and capable defense across land, air and sea,' he added, insisting the Ukrainian military would be 'a force of stability in the region.'
Most Western allies have already provided substantive military support, but mainly to be used by land forces. Western fighter jets or warships have not been delivered so far.
Biden and his Ukrainian counterpart later sat down for long-awaited talks in Vilnius, Lithuania on the second day of a key NATO summit.
The president acknowledged that sometimes Ukraine was 'frustrated' with the speed and scope of arms deliveries but vowed that the U.S. 'is not going anywhere.'
Dressed in his trademark olive green combat fatigues, Zelensky appeared to row back on his bullish outburst from 24 hours earlier.

If they spill the beans, the power is gone.
You are deep into Ron Paul-ism. Whatever.

Guam is now a country? When did that happen?
Fake war
Opposition to this war among U. S. public is very low.
The same folks that rioted against Iraq and wished death on GWB are beating the drums of war. They love bring brainwashed
Agree. And if Biden Runs in 2024 he will pose as a war hero, not a crook.
